| book description |

The funny, wise and brilliant new novel from the star of QI and the author of Between the Stops - an instant Sunday Times bestseller 'Warm, witty and wise . . . the perfect balm for these turbulent times' GRAHAM NORTON After much searching, the happily married young couple, Amber and Stevie think they have found the perfect spot in Grimaldi Square. Despite the rundown pub across the way, the overgrown garden and a decidedly nosy neighbour, number 4 is the house of their dreams. Stevie, a woman who has never left anything to chance, has planned everything so nothing can spoil their happiness. But upstairs in their new home, seated on an old red sofa is the woman they bought the place from - eighty-year-old foul-mouthed, straight-talking, wise-cracking Dorothy - who has decided that she's not going anywhere. It turns out that Dorothy will be only the first in a line of life-changing surprises. Friends of Dorothy is a touching, funny novel about a family that is not biological, but logical; a story close to Sandi Toksvig's heart. Readers can't get enough of Friends of Dorothy! 'Superb. Buy this book . . . Enjoyed it so much that I feel like starting at the beginning again' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I absolutely adored this book! I hope to be half as hilarious as Dorothy when I reach my 70s' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I literally read this in 24 hours and really could not put it down' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'It's a rare thing to find a novel that's warm and funny, but in no way cheesy or predictable . . . can't wait to re-read!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A great big warm hug of a book' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I would give this six stars if I could' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
