I find it fascinating to glimpse into an idea of people's lives who have been brought up quite differently. Lisa is so hard, and tough, because - at least partially - she was dissatisfied with her poor upbringing. As she comes to understand herself better, she can be happy with who she is, and therefore be nicer to other people.Ashling is loyal and devoted, leading to her being walked on a fair bit. It takes a metaphoric slap in the face for her to experience and finally understand what her mother went through and allow her to process her childhood before she can mature.Clodagh is needed to make Ashling's 'slap' bigger, and to balance what Ashling is going through. She's the least likeable in my opinion, because although she is supposed to be devoting herself to rearing her children she doesn't seem to put much effort into them. I do particularly like that the book describes being alone with two small children day-in, day-out as being exhausting and lonely, though. That's something I personally experienced with my two boys when they were small.I read the US kindle version of this the other day, after 15 or so years of reading the paperback from Australia, and there are many small differences between them (lines left out or added, words/names changed, etc). I think it's sad that the versions can't be the same, which would give a more authentic experience to the reader. It makes me want to seek out the Irish/UK version in case my Aussie version is itself altered. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love sushi *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2006* After not being totally impressed with the first Marian Keyes book I had read, I was a little hesitant to begin this one. I love this book! There are a couple of main characters and each has such a different personality and different obstacles in their life. It's funny how each person's life changes from what they learn from each other.This is a long book but worth every second you spending reading it. Some of the characters work in a new high fashion magazine, some are comics trying to make it and some are friends and relatives from the sidelines.The three main women in the book: Ashling is an ordinary girl with a compassionate and difficult past due to her mother is just trying to get by minimally in the magazine world, Lisa is the high flying editor knocking everyone over on her way to the top, including her parents and her husband, and Clodaugh the picture of a perfect life who is unhappy and bored with her life. Each person learns something from the others and their relationships change with the mistakes they make and the lessons they learn. It's a very good book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun with some serious undertones *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2003* 'Sushi for Beginners' focuses primarily on two very different women thrown together by work. Lisa Edwards is a London sophisticate on a hot career track while Ashling Kennedy is the perfect second in command type person who wishes she had Lisa's elan and attitude. The two women meet at the start up of Colleen, an edgy Irish fashion magazine. The magazine and the two women's personal lives allow the introduction of a variety of interesting characters including Lisa's almost ex-husband, Ashling's feckless boyfriend and best friend, and Jack Devine, the handsome boss that both Lisa and Ashling find attractive.'Sushi for Beginners' follows Lisa and Ashling as they seek professional and persona success. As Lisa's marriage with the husband she still loves comes to an end, she discovers new aspect of herself and new priorities. The journey, however, is filled with funny mis-steps and misunderstandings. Ashling begins to learn to stand up for herself, and discovers true love simply by being herself.This is a very enjoyable novel, and one I found difficult to put down. The characters have enough foibles to be real, and the reader can empathize with the humiliation and embarassment both Lisa and Ashling encounter. The surrounding characters are personable, interesting, and accessible. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys 'chick lit' or Marian Keyes' other books. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/15870854-sushi-for-beginners-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/15870854-sushi-for-beginners-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
