A brilliantly funny and heartbreaking story of growing up and finding the independence you might not actually want . . .
Nina Stibbe was born in Leicester. She is the author of two works of non-fiction - Love, Nina and An Almost Perfect Christmas - and three previous novels- Man at the Helm, Paradise Lodge, and Reasons to be Cheerful, which is the only novel to have won both the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction and the Comedy Women in Print Award. Love, Nina won Non-Fiction Book of the Year and was adapted by Nick Hornby into a BBC TV series. Nina Stibbe lives in Cornwall.
Pitch perfect vintage comedy
*Guardian*
Lives up to its title
*Sunday Times*
My friends, you will UTTERLY ADORE Nina Stibbe's latest novel
Reasons To Be Cheerful . . .It is SO SO funny, charming,
odd-in-the-best-way and gorgeously uplifting! A delight from start
to finish
*Marian Keyes*
Stibbe's comedy probes what it means to become an adult, and how we
form our financial, sexual, moral and political selves
*Daily Telegraph*
So dense with amusing detail that I thought about holding the book
upside down to see if any extra funny bits might spill from the
creases between the page
*New York Times*
I read all of Reasons To Be Cheerful last night in one GLORIOUS
gulp and it's SUCH a joy - Nina Stibbe turns out more perfect,
sharp, unique sentences than anyone else in the game. It just
CARTWHEELS
*Caitlin Moran*
If you loved Adrian Mole you'll adore Lizzie Vogel . . . quirky and
witty, it also packs an emotional punch
*Sun*
Comedy gold . . . Reasons To Be Cheerful is just the read you need
right now, seamlessly weaving together the big themes of life with
charm and warmth
*Stylist*
Reasons to be Cheerful's tone has been compared to Sue Townsend's
but I could haul in Alan Bennett, Barbara Pym and even Jane Austen
. . . she writes brilliantly
*The Times*
The true heir to Sue Townsend
*Caitlin Moran*
