From the prize-winning author of Reasons to be Cheerful comes a
story about the ebb and flow of female friendship over half a
lifetime 'A true gift of a novel, I utterly adored it. For as long
as I could make it last, the world just felt a bit nicer' Meg Mason
'Stibbe turns out more perfect, sharp, unique sentences than anyone
else' Caitlin Moran 'Stibbe has an extraordinary gift' Marian Keyes
'Nina Stibbe makes being funny look easy, but that's just because
she's very, very good at it' Clare Chambers
________________________________________________ Susan and Norma
have been best friends for years, at first thrust together by force
of circumstance (a job at The Pin Cushion, a haberdashery shop in
1990s Leicestershire) and then by force of character (neither being
particularly inclined to make friends with anyone else). But now,
thirty years later, faced with a husband seeking immortality and
Norma out of reach on a wave of professional glory, Susan begins to
wonder whether she has made the right choices about life, love,
work, and, most importantly, friendship. Nina Stibbe's new novel is
the story of the wonderful and sometimes surprising path of
friendship: from its conspiratorial beginnings, along its
irritating wrong turns, to its final gratifying destination.
_________________________________________________ 'Nina Stibbe's
very funny novels are full of charm, and her latest brilliantly
captures the mordant humour of British suburban life' Evening
Standard 'I absolutely loved every single page of it! I honestly
think it's the funniest thing she's ever written' Garth Jennings
'I'm not surprised to see that Stibbe's writing has been compared
to Jane Austen's' Emma Healey 'I am already longing for Nina
Stibbe's next book' Observer 'Stibbe is one of the all-time greats'
Daisy Buchanan 'Clever and funny, it takes a sharp look at the
intricacies of marriage, friendship, work and driving. As with all
Stibbe's writing there is a pleasingly perfect balance of wisdom
with jokes' Cathy Rentzenbrink 'Nina Stibbe is not just very funny
but absolutely life-affirming' Jenny Colgan 'For beautifully funny
and well-observed comic writing, Nina Stibbe is your go-to author.
In her latest release, a tale of lifelong friendship between Susan
and Norma, she explores the mistakes, rivalries and love we all
experience in life' Stylist 'One of the great comic writers of our
time' Irish Times
