This is on my list of books to get this week!
Here's what the publisher has to say about Nick Hornby's newest novel:
"From the bestselling 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 ingénue 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."

Count me in!
I was blessed to be able to speak with Mr. Hornby back in 2005, about his book, A LONG WAY DOWN, you can read what he had to say by clicking here.
