Omschrijving

The new Sunday Times bestseller from David Nicholls - 'That most rare and coveted of literary feats: a popular novel of serious merit, a bestseller that will also endure.' Observer

Very funny and heart wrenchingly tender

A beautiful paean to young love . . . Here he proves that he can still pull off that most rare and coveted of literary feats: a popular novel of serious merit, a bestseller that will also endure

This is Nicholls' talent - what really sets this story apart is the dialogue: funny, telling, laughter-inducing, he's hard to beat

He's such a genius. His novels are relatable and recognisable, but also surprising, breath-taking and life-enhancing

A classic coming of age novel with universal truths teased out with remarkable perception

Affirms once again Nicholls' talent for unearthing the special in the ordinary

Full of the joy and pain of first love, fans who fell for bestseller One Day, ten years ago, won't be disappointed

A big-hearted book with wonderful set-pieces . . . beautifully funny and touching . . . his books always seem as fresh as they are wise and funny

I don't think anyone writing right now captures youth and adolescence better; I'm not sure anyone even gets close

Such a beautiful book. Captures perfectly a moment in time we've all experienced

Written with great comic panache and generosity of spirit, it is Nicholls' most mature and compelling novel so far

Nicholls' literary talents are impressive . . . the sense of nostalgia is visceral and intense, almost time-bending

It's just perfect in every way

A book that will find its way into your heart and set up home . . . this story perfectly captures the awkwardness and poignancy of first love

Funny, engaging and moving, another triumph from the brilliant David Nicholls

A compassionate, intelligent look at the raw pain and loneliness of a teenage boy, the everyday miracle of first love and the perennial power of Shakespeare's language

Fizzing . . . a funny, affectionate exploration of first love

Astutely observed, and almost painfully nostalgic, Sweet Sorrow reads like a true story

It's everything a story should be. Beautiful and clear and heartfelt, and it will do what all brilliant stories do: it will find the very pinpoint of who you are and it will stay there

A master of the bittersweet coming-of-age novel

Pitch perfect . . . Exquisite . . . Terrific . . . Very funny . . . Though Sweet Sorrow is certainly pulse-quickening enough to absorb readers through this summer's airport delays and rained-off beach days, it's no escapist fantasy. The tale of Charlie and Fran will linger long beyond your tan

Nicholls perfectly captures the dizzying highs and lows of first love

Adrian Mole meets The Swish Of The Curtain in this lovely coming-of-age romcom about acting and the class divide

Full of wisdom, poignancy and laughs

Interesting, moving, hilarious and sad at the same time

A funny, relatable coming-of-age story

A superbly written, beautifully observed account of teenage life, love, family dysfunction and friendship, which builds to a stunningly poignant ending

No one else writes novels that are both relatable and revelatory in the way he does

A delicious, pensive summer read

Piercingly observant, gloriously funny and achingly sad, this is David Nicholls' best book yet

Sweet Sorrow manages to be interesting, moving, hilarious and sad at the same time. I know when my heartstrings are being pulled, but tugged they assuredly were

A glorious escape to the sunlit uplands of the 1990s, where a teenager first finds love

Funny and nostalgic tale of first love

If ever there was an author perfect to take with you on holiday (so to speak), it's David Nicholls

I'm not sure there has ever been a better book to read while by the sea. The nostalgia, the humour, the deep understanding of adolescent love and indeed the sorrow. It's such a brilliant book

A witty and tender evocation of young love

A devastatingly honest exploration of first love, razor-sharp reflections on friendship - oh, and some snort out loud funny moments

David Nicholls is that rarest of literary creatures: a genuinely brilliant, genuinely popular novelist. His latest, Sweet Sorrow, is more than just poignant and warm and funny. There are piercing apercus and writing that's both precise and poetic, lyrical and tough

Eloquent . . . dazzles with wit and shrewd self-reflection

A tale of first love that hits all the right notes . . . [it] just might be the sweetest book to brighten your late summer

Delectable . . . Nicholls treats you to a satisfying glimpse into the future, where characters make a curtain call as adults . . . Bombshells abound

Capturing nostalgia for long endless summers as well as for the strangeness that is friendships among those cast together in a play . . . a beautiful coming of age story

No other writer breaks my heart and then partially bandages it back together quite like Nicholls does. Sweet Sorrow is an absolute must-read

David Nicholls [is] again on top form with Sweet Sorrow . . . a gorgeous tribute to young love . . . and it's got plenty of humour too
