Favourite [Kõva köide]

Now and again I read a book which is so FABULOUS I get queasy with jealousy. This is one such book. God, I wish I had written it. Funny, dark, fascinating and utterly UTTERLY convincing. On my QWJ (Queasy With Jealousy) Scale, I award it 16/10. -- Marian Keyes What makes this sibling dramedy so delectable is Littlewoods writing All the nuances of sisterhood, daughterhood, wifehood, motherhood, divorcehood, and more are illuminated by this tale of spilled wine, slapped faces, and enduring family love. * Oprah Daily * Fran writes like a wilder, more breathless Claire Lombardo . . . A huge talent. Set over the course of a family reunion that goes very wrong, THE FAVOURITE is a layered, textured story about the reverberations of the past and secrets in a family, and a psychologically astute look at love and relationships. Its wonderful and very funny. Youre in for such a treat. I LOVED it. -- Georgina Moore, author of The Garnett Girls Youll be captivated by the well-drawn characters * Good Housekeeping * Fran Littlewood is an expert chronicler of family dynamics, and particularly the complex, competitive, and sparkling nature of sisterhood. Once I picked up THE FAVOURITE, I did not want to put it down until the last page was turned -- Lottie Hazell, author of Piglet So sharp, funny and pacey, and incredibly well-observed, especially when it comes to the small but treacherous undercurrents that run beneath the family. I loved it. -- Rebecca Wait, author of I'm Sorry You Feel That Way THE FAVOURITE is an absolute knockout - ferociously observed, fantastically funny and deeply relatable. I could not stop reading this dark-edged, pacy, moving novel and was consumed with thoughts about the characters whenever it wasnt in my hands. Sensationally good -- Rosie Walsh, bestselling author of The Man Who Didn't Call Theres to be no Difficult Second Album Syndrome for Fran Littlewood. The Favourite starts with a (literally) cracking premise, and gets messier and more mysterious from there. It is darkly funny, keenly observed, and full of poignant, vivid images. -- Tim Minchin Fran Littlewood has that incredible ability to write minute family dynamics with such insane accuracy and wit that it feels like shes been observing you and your family for years. Its the incisive level of detail she holds that makes The Favourite such a brilliant read with a concept that is both relatable and hilariously messy. This is a novel that captures the big and little things about siblings and family life that create the beautiful and fractured thing we call family. Youll want to pass this book onto your siblings and your parents, but be warned!! -- Ore Agbaje-Williams, author of The Three of Us Powerful and emotional * Woman's Own * The Favourite is fabulous - sharp and funny and brilliantly claustrophobic on family dynamics and the way everyone is the main character and unreliable narrator of their own lives. -- Lauren Bravo, author of Preloved The Favourite sizzles with familial tension that keeps the pages turning. A heartbreaking, candid, and witty take on family and their determination to f**k us up at every level possible. I loved it -- Justin Myers (AKA The Guyliner), author of The Fake Up
