Funny Girl by Nick Hornby
Barbara Parker is Miss Blackpool of 1964, but she doesn't want to be a beauty queen. She only wants to make people laugh. So she leaves her hometown behind, takes herself off to London, and lands a life-changing audition for a new BBC comedy series. Overnight she becomes Sophie Straw: charming, gorgeous, destined to win the nation's hearts.
So simple, so easy to read and yet so sensitive and profound at the same timeThis is a world that feels real and one you don't want to leave * Independent on Sunday *
Like all Hornby's best work, it is both hugely enjoyable and deceptively artful * Spectator *
Everything Hornby writes is addictively readable and clever, but with Funny Girl he has surpassed himself * Red *
Hornby's sunniest novel * Metro *
