The most important writer of fiction in any language

Praise for Jane Fallon

Chick lit with an edge

Sassy and brilliantly written

Sparkling and unpredictable

You can always rely on Jane Fallon for a well-crafted, dryly-funny, just-one-more-chapter-before-I-turn-out-the-light read

Compulsively readable

Deliciously devious . . . A darkly comic and addictive read

I love Jane Fallon, she's in a category all of her own - her books are great fun and her characters are fabulous, believable women who take no nonsense

Fun and feisty women's fiction at its very best

Edgy and entertaining

A hilarious page-turner

Dry, sharp, and with the kind of wit that makes you wince, Adelle Waldman’s snappy, smart, painfully funny insight into the modern world of romance, might make you rethink the whole dating thing.

Waldman’s debut novel captures the excitement of dating, the slow attrition of relationships running aground, and the underlying sense of slightly different worlds.

[T]he Brooklyn novel achieves full maturity with [this] enormously enjoyable debut…her elegant book is quiveringly attuned to the mores of our times.

Her writing displays awareness that the Brooklynites middle-class problems don’t amount to a hill of fair trade coffee beans in the real world. This is brilliantly observed stuff.

A smart, engaging, twenty-first century comedy of manners… Waldman shows herself to be a promising novelist and a savvy observer of human nature…terrific.

The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.[is] a hilariously astute portrait of a hopelessly self-obsessed Brooklyn writer as a sad young literary man, a Peter Pan for a new, deeply ironic millennium.

[A] deft first novel…George Eliot provides the book's epigraph: "To give a true account of what passes within us, something else is necessary besides sincerity." Nate may not be able to give us a true account, but his mordantly astute creator can.

A writer with a Wharton-esque eye for metropolitan mores, the author delivers top-drawer social satire and a clear-eyed view of the male psyche.

The Brooklyn novel – the American equivalent of Britain’s Hampstead novel – reaches full maturity with this enormously enjoyable debut about sad you literary men and women.

clever, funny and razor-sharp

thoughtful and ambitious

Excellent and astutely observed

I read the book. I loved it. I loved her. She’s smart, she’s funny and she makes us all feel like we’re good just the way we are.

Fresh, frantic and very funny.

Long-awaited.

Bridget is back! ... The third book in the series does not disappoint, taking the reader on a whirlwind tour of Bridget's life as a 50-something, and all the highs, lows, tears and laughter that you'd expect.

What remains unchanged – and addictive – is its diary format.

Life may have changed dramatically for Bridget, but you can still prepare to laugh and cry at Helen Fielding’s latest novel.

Fans of the original books have not been, and will not be, disappointed.

Tender, touching and often hilarious – a welcome return.

Bridget is as hopeless, loveable and funny as ever.

An uproariously funny novel of modern life, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is the triumphant return of our favourite Everywoman.

Laugh-out-loud funny, as well as punctuated by moments of genuine sadness, which are proportionately balanced throughout the story.

Timely, tender, touching, witty, wise and bloody hilarious

Hilariously written

This book is an innocent pleasure, and made me laugh a lot
