From the best-selling 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 ingnue 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.

Editorial reviews
Critic reviews
"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)

Good listen.

Well-performed, this audiobook should be enjoyed by fans of either Hornby or the classic sitcoms he is (at times satirically, at times nostalgically) referencing.
