Description
Barbara Parker is Miss Blackpool of 1964, but she doesn't want to be a beauty queen. She only wants to make people laugh. So she leaves her hometown behind, takes herself off to London, and lands a life-changing audition for a new BBC comedy series. Overnight she becomes Sophie Straw: charming, gorgeous, destined to win the nation's hearts.
So simple, so easy to read and yet so sensitive and profound at the same time. This is a world that feels real and one you don't want to leave
Like all Hornby's best work, it is both hugely enjoyable and deceptively artful
Everything Hornby writes is addictively readable and clever, but with Funny Girl he has surpassed himself
Hornby's sunniest novel
NICK HORNBY is the bestselling author of eight novels, including Just Like You, High Fidelity and About a Boy, and several works of nonfiction including Fever Pitch. He has also written numerous award-winning screenplays for film and television including Brooklyn, Wild and, most recently, State of the Union.
