Fido Nesti has done a grand job of depicting Orwell's dystopian nightmare ... The writer himself, you like to think, would have been most proud of this new graphic interpretation

Hand this to readers who are new to 1984 or hesitant to take up a classic

Praise for Elizabeth Noble

Deliciously readable

I defy you not to cry at least once

Tissues are essential. You'll ricochet between delicately watering eyes at the romance of it all and howling sobs at the unbearable tenderness

A great writer. You'll be rooting for Noble's protagonists as soon as you meet them

Noble is a mistress of the tearjerking message of love

Enchantingly clever

Witty, pacy and immediately engaging

Honest and beautifully written

Witty, affectionate and unashamedly tear-jerking

Irresistible comfort read

Incredibly thought-provoking and poignant

So fluid, the pages turn themselves

It would be a hard heart indeed that remained unmoved . . . the tender feelings that Noble engenders in her readers are to be cherished

A joyful book, a feast of colour, wit and ideas about living in ever-changing times

The brilliant cartoonist traces her own history of (sometimes obsessive) exercise in this stunning graphic memoir.
