High Fidelity
- If you missed it the first time . . . Nick Hornby's acclaimed
first novel High Fidelity. ‘Brilliant . . . a very funny and
concise explanation of why we men are as we are. If you are
male, you should read it and then make your partner read it,
so they will no longer hate you but pity you instead.’ - Harry
Enfield, Independent on Sunday. ‘It's quite sad, very funny
and extremely cleverly observed.’ - Mail on Sunday.
Fever Pitch -
A hilarious exploration of what drives men to football - by
the man who made funny, self-deprecating, thirty-something
fiction hot property ages before Bridget Jones stumbled onto
the scene.
How To Be Good
- Nick Hornby gets inside the head of a mixed-up mum in this
hilariously smart tale of modern marriage, parenthood and
low or no fidelity
About A Boy -
When Will meets Marcus, an uncool 12-year-old with the wrong
hair, clothes, taste in music and a suicidal mother, he needs
help. Arrested adolescent that he is, Will is the man for
the job
