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?

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

What, not ever?

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.

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

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.

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!!!

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

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.

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

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

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