Was Maggie O'Farrell married to John O'Farrell, or am I completely imagining that? Have just finished 'After You'd Gone'

[Fauve]

I'm obsessing about this connection, which I may have imagined. I don't like John O'Farrell, but I quite enjoyed After You'd Gone. Anyone able to enlighten me, please?

[PSCMUM]

no, they are not married.
john o 'farrell is brilliant and hilarious i think, and not married to maggs.

[Fauve]

What, not ever?

[PSCMUM]

no i really don't think so. not ever. i can't remember his wifes name, i think its jean or something, its in his book things can only get better.

[Fauve]

Thank you so much! Funny what you can convince yourself of, isn't it? I'll stop obsessing now

Maggie O'Farrell is, I think, married to William "Are You Experienced" Sutcliffe.
I don't rate John O'Farrell either, fauve. I thought that book about secondary transfer was facile twaddle

[CurleyShirley]

I know Maggie o'farrell, and no, she isnt and has never been married to John!!! Marina is right - she is married to will Sutcliffe who wrote Are you Experienced and a couple of others novels.

[Clarabumps]

love love loved that book..my sister started a runour that steve jones was gethin jones' brother. total lies..she assumed because they were both welsh and called jones that they must be. i told everyone. idiot!!!

[marina]

Are You Experienced is a fantastic novel, really very funny
I must look out his others

Silly sausage.

She is married to a writer though, i think. and has one boy child.

PMSL sobernow
Olivia Manning was married to some weedy little man in the British Council called Reginald or Cuthbert or something

[CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear]

OMG, she's married to william sutcliffe? but he's so sort of studenty ... she should be married to someone with a tiny bit more gravitas. not lots, but a bit.

hmmm...

no, not ian mcewan....

hmm...

Jerry Hall really should have married Bryan Ferry.

[marina]

And then we might have avoided the blot on the rural landscape that is Otis "find yourself a proper job" Ferry, WW

[scottishmummy]

read after you'd gone years ago -still one of my fave reads.must revisit it

[UnquietDad]

"Are You Experienced" was good but "The Love Hexagon" felt very insubstantial and pretentious. Sub-"ThisLife" drivel.
