Synopsis

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOLLINGER EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE FOR COMIC FICTION

'A smart, funny and surprisingly moving read for fans of Dolly Alderton' THE I PAPER

'A commercial-literary gem for fans of Kiley Reid, Curtis Sittenfeld and Alison Espach' PANDORA SYKES
'If you're honest, you'll admit that you've raised George or dated George or, worse, you are George' WASHINGTON POST

'This book is a knockout' MARIA SEMPLE
'An excellent novel...as convincing as it is moving' ADELLE WALDMAN
'Perceptive, funny and tender' ALISON ESPACH

We all know a George.
He's the kind of guy who's brimming with potential but incapable of following through; he doesn't know if he's in love with his girlfriend, but he certainly likes having her around; he's distant from - but still reliant on - his mother; he swears he'll finish his novel one day.

Sure, you might find him disappointing. But no one is more disappointed in George than George himself.

As funny as it is astute and as singular as it is universal, The Book of George is a deft, unexpectedly moving never-coming-of-age tale and a portrait of one man, but also countless others.
