Their Finest by Lissa Evans

Their Finest by Lissa Evans

Now a major film starring Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin and Bill Nighy. It's 1940. After a short spell promoting the joy of swedes for the Ministry of Food, she finds herself writing dialogue for 'Just an Ordinary Wednesday', a heart-warming but largely fabricated 'true story' about rescue and romance on the beaches of Dunkirk.

[Lissa Evans] displays a fine eye for detail and for the absurdities involved in filmingShe also brilliantly evokes the disruption and dangers of wartime London. This funny, heart-warming and beautifully crafted novel is a must-read * Daily Mail *
Beautifully written, minutely observed and researched, evocative and very funny tale -- Michele Hanson * Guardian *
Comic, poignant and altogether delightful, raised spirits are guaranteed * Easy Living *
This is a comic novel, but far warmer in tone and broader in scope than that label would suggest...Gloriously observed...Hilliard is a wonderful creation - and Evans's recreated propaganda scripts are a total joy. Delicious * The Times *
Pitch-perfect in tone and populated by some unforgettable characters, Lissa Evans's blackly comic new novel is a delight * The Gloss Magazine *

Lissa Evans has written books for both adults and children, including the bestselling Old Baggage, Their Finest Hour and a Half (filmed as Their Finest), Small Change for Stuart and Wed Wabbit, both shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, and Small Bomb at Dimperley.
