Make them laugh, and they're yours forever . . .
Barbara Parker is Miss Blackpool of 1964, but she doesn't want to be a beauty queen. She wants to make people laugh.
So she leaves her hometown behind, takes herself to London, and overnight she becomes the lead in a new BBC comedy, Sophie Straw: charming, gorgeous, destined to win the nation's hearts.
Funny Girl is the story of a smash-hit TV show and the people behind the scenes. But when life starts imitating art, they all face a choice. How long can they keep going before it's time to change the channel?

Recenzii
Highly entertaining . . . a beguiling, thoroughly enjoyable read
Simply unputdownable
Warm, funny, touching . . . winningly perceptive about human relationships and changing social trends
So simple, so easy to read and yet so sensitive and profound at the same time. This is a world that feels real and one you don't want to leave
Like all Hornby's best work, it is both hugely enjoyable and deceptively artful
Everything Hornby writes is addictively readable and clever, but with Funny Girl he has surpassed himself
Hornby's sunniest novel
Nick Hornby is pretty much always poignant and hilarious
Fans won't be disappointed by this new story... endearing, humorous and touching, full of spot-on period detail, all brought to vivid life by a cast of very human characters. Hugely enjoyable
Resolutely, winningly light-hearted
Nick Hornby's funny, winningly perceptive novel is a pleasure to read
If you devoured About a Boy and whizzed through High Fidelity you're going to love Nick Hornby's brilliant new novel. Hilarious and captivating, this is a fabulous read
There is something about Hornby's writing that is so simple, so easy-to-read and yet so sensitive and profound at the same time, that anything he writes turns out very special. The premise of Funny Girl is like a lot of Nick Hornby's irritatingly genius ideas: something so obvious you can't believe no one thought of it before.
Everything he writes is addictively readable and clever, but with this one he just surpasses himself
Effortlessly engaging... Hornby's writing is so fluid, he has a great knack for capturing atmosphere and skewering a character with a killer phrase
