Dawn French has been making people laugh for 30 years. As a writer, comedian and actor, she has appeared in some of this country's most long-running and celebrated shows, including French and Saunders, The Vicar of Dibley, Jam and Jerusalem, and more recently, Roger and Val Have Just Got In. Her first three novels, A Tiny Bit Marvellous, Oh Dear Silvia and According to YES, are all Sunday Times bestsellers.
I adored According to YES. It's so different to anything I've read
in forever, so charming, wise, brilliantly written. I loved it
all
*Marian Keyes*
French can spin a yarn . . . which sets According to YES apart from
the usual chick-lit template. Think the vicar of Dibley, without
the dog collar. YES YES YES indeed
*Independent*
There is lots of fun to be had reading this book. It's impossible
not to warm to Rosie, a funny and open-hearted woman who acts as a
salve and comfort blanket for this unhappy, inhibited family.
There's something quite joyous about the way she unashamedly romps
her way through the novel, changing the lives of those around her
for the better
*Express*
An enlightening and feel-good read offering a fresh look at life
and how to embrace it. Funny and enjoyable to the end
*We Love This Book*
Another hilarious novel!
*Bella*
French acknowledges in all of this that her happiness is not just
chance. There has also been a significant change of attitude to her
life. It's why she's called her new book According to Yes, and she
writes of the main character Rosie: 'She is the person who, a
couple of weeks ago, said no to all the even keel, and yes to
grabbing life by the throat, yes to jumping off the edge, yes to
what the hell's it going to be like? Yes to being afraid. YES, YES,
YES, PLEASE!'

Dawn tackles the big ones - love, death, grief, childhood,
motherhood, parenthood - head on
*Guardian (on 'Oh Dear Silvia')*
An easy read, but one that doesn't fall short on sustenance - it's
not purely light and airy but fun and poignant with some
hilariously perceptive observations of family life. French covers
the big issues of love, betrayal, grief and heartbreak
*We Love This Book*
