Marian Keyes

From Marian Keyes' Q & A with the Independent's Arifa Akbar:

Choose a favourite author and say why you like her/him

It's hard to choose one but I'm very fond of Kate Atkinson. I like how she puts a sentence together. She's very witty and compassionate about the human condition.

* * *
Which fictional character most resembles you?

I'm really sorry but I've agonised and I don't have any recollection of reading a character and thinking 'she's like me'.

* * *
Who is your hero/heroine from outside literature?

Aung San Suu Kyi. I admire her self sacrifice so much. She has remained strong. She's an example of how amazing human beings can be.
