FUNNY GIRL
Read by Emma Fielding
NICK HORNBY

  

ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:

From the bestselling author of High Fidelity, About a Boy, and A Long Way Down comes a highly anticipated new novel.

Set in 1960's London, Funny 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, Nick Hornby's latest does what he does best: endears us to a cast of characters who are funny if flawed, and forces us to examine ourselves in the process.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Nick Hornby is the author of the novels A Long Way Down, How to Be Good (a New York Times bestseller), High Fidelity, and About a Boy, and of the memoir Fever Pitch. He is also the author of Songbook, a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award, and editor of the short-story collection Speaking with the Angel. He is also the recipient of the American Academy of Arts and Letters E. M. Forster Award, and the Orange Word International Writers London Award 2003.

SOME OTHER BOOKS BY NICK HORNBY:

PRAISE FOR FUNNY GIRL:

“As befits a novel about a popular sitcom, this novel packs in lots of laughs, but it’s also got more heft than Mr. Hornby’s readers may expect.” —The New York Times 

 ”A smart comic novel that… induces binge-reading that’s the literary equivalent of polishing off an entire television series in one weekend.” —NPR

“Engaging…Hornby’s fictionalized evocation of the era is spot-on.” —Entertainment Weekly

“Funny and fast moving, perceptive and sharp.” —Los Angeles Times

”At its best moments, Hornby’s novel shows precisely the same quality [as the best television comedy].”  – The Boston Globe

“Hornby’s fluency in script-like breeziness and crisp banter makes Funny Girl a pleasurable read. So does page after page of perfectly timed and delivered humor, the subtle and understated kind, that starts with the first line.” – USA Today

“[Hornby’s] most ambitious novel to date… he makes the reader care for his characters as much as he does.”—Starred Kirkus Review

“[A] light, fond, funny tale by the author of About a Boy…[a] fizzy delight about the likable oddballs who populate showbiz.” —People
