Nick Hornby
A brilliant novel about a woman determined to make a name for herself as a sitcom star in 1960's London from the bestselling author of Dickens and Prince, High Fidelity and About a BoyFunny Girl is a lively account of the adventures of the intrepid young Sophie Straw as she navigates her transformation from provincial ingénue to television starlet amid a constellation of delightful characters. Insightful and humorous, Funny Girl does what Nick Hornby does best: endears us to a cast of characters who are funny if flawed, and forces us to examine ourselves in the process.

Robert Wasson
"I've always loved Hornby's writing. This love letter to television is very English yet globally accessible. I borrowed this copy from a public library and when I was done, clicked the button to buy the Kindle version. <br/><br/>This may be his best work in a decade.<br/>"
