Such a great voice. A 21st-century Nora Ephron.
Such a great voice. A 21st-century Nora Ephron.
The Christina that alternately walks and pushes us and tickles us through these pages is an ever-evolving character whom I ... don't want to ever let go of. This is not a book for friends and family, this is a witty, hilarious at times, poignant story of a woman breaking free from a narrative she was sold as a girl.
Ford's directness and frankness lend a unique authenticity to her narrative, making it particularly engaging. [...] In Search of Mr. Darcy appeals to a wide audience, offering wisdom for women of all ages and walks of life. Ford's journey, while deeply personal, taps into universal themes of self-discovery and empowerment. Her story encourages readers to confront challenges and nurture their best selves, making it a valuable addition to the genre of personal memoirs.
A triumph. Hope-filled and life-affirming.
Will resonate with readers who enjoy the likes of Bridget Jones's Diary but with an additional layer of spice that only a true story can deliver. Very highly recommended
Real-life Bridget Jones meets Sex in the City ... An intimate, moving and funny memoir of one woman's extraordinary life, and her search for love and happiness.
Christina Ford is a former TV and film executive who crossed continents to be with a man - and you can guess how that turned out. She lives in London and documents her life in her blog A Broad in London. This is her first book.
