Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER SOON TO BE A TV SERIES STARRING GEMMA ARTERTON AND RUPERT EVERETT


Make them laugh, and they're yours forever . . .

Barbara Parker is Miss Blackpool of 1964, but she doesn't want to be a beauty queen. She wants to make people laugh.

So she leaves her hometown behind, takes herself to London, and overnight she becomes the lead in a new BBC comedy, Sophie Straw: charming, gorgeous, destined to win the nation's hearts.

Funny Girl is the story of a smash-hit TV show and the people behind the scenes. But when life starts imitating art, they all face a choice. How long can they keep going before it's time to change the channel?

Reviews

Highly entertaining . . . a beguiling, thoroughly enjoyable read Simply unputdownable Warm, funny, touching . . . winningly perceptive about human relationships and changing social trends So simple, so easy to read and yet so sensitive and profound at the same time. This is a world that feels real and one you don't want to leave Like all Hornby's best work, it is both hugely enjoyable and deceptively artful Everything Hornby writes is addictively readable and clever, but with Funny Girl he has surpassed himself Hornby's sunniest novel Nick Hornby is pretty much always poignant and hilarious Expand reviews
