Everyone has that one summer. 'David Nicholls is that rarest of
literary creatures: a genuinely brilliant, genuinely popular
novelist.' - Stuart Maconie, in New Statesman's Best Books of 2020
'Triumph ... the sense of nostalgia is visceral and intense, almost
time-bending' The Sunday Times 'Pitch perfect ... Exquisite ...
Terrific ... Very funny' Telegraph THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER In
1997, Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don't remember in the
school photograph. His exams have not gone well. At home he is
looking after his father, when surely it should be the other way
round, and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind
of dread. Then Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite
himself, Charlie begins to hope. But if Charlie wants to be with
Fran, he must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect
of his friends and require him to become a different person. He
must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the
truth is even more appalling. The price of hope, it seems, is
Shakespeare. Poignant, funny, enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow
is a tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the
confusion of family life, a celebration of the reviving power of
friendship and that brief, searing explosion of first love that can
only be looked at directly after it has burned out. 'The wit and
real humour of his other books are here in this lovely rendition of
what love is. A great read especially in England over the summer'
***** Reader Review 'What a lovely, beautiful book, full of wistful
nostalgia' ***** Reader Review 'I loved this book. I've bought more
copies to give to friends and family and will be recommending it to
everyone I know who has ever fallen in love' ***** Reader Review
'This is a very special novel, both sad and funny at the same time,
with such beautiful writing' ***** Reader Review 'A modern classic'
