The Irish writer, Marian Keyes, has sold 35 million novels in 33 languages, and a new BBC series "The Walsh Sisters" is inspired by some of her most famous work.
From her debut novel over 30 years ago to last year's "My Favourite Mistake", she’s championed women's stories and never shied away from discussing her own life and addiction to alcohol.
Her Inheritance Tracks are both enjoyable and moving in equal measure.
Inherited: Only Our Rivers Run Free by Christy Moore
Passing on: The Bottle by Gil Scott-Heron
