Funny Girl

**A brilliant novel about a woman determined to make a name for herself as a sitcom star in 1960’s London from the bestselling author of** Dickens and Prince **,** High Fidelity **and** About a Boy *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, *Funny Girl* does what Nick Hornby does best: endears us to a cast of characters who are funny if flawed, and forces us to examine ourselves in the process.
