The hilarious No. 1 bestseller by comedian and author of Because of You and According to Yes, Dawn French.


Everyone hates the perfect family - so you'll love the Battles.

Meet Mo Battle, about to turn 50 and mum to two helpless, hormonal teenagers. There's 17-year-old daughter Dora who blames Mo for, like, EVERYTHING and Peter who believes he's quite simply as darling and marvellous as his hero Oscar Wilde. Somewhere, keeping quiet, is Dad, who's just, well . . . Dad.

However, Mo is having a crisis. She's about to do something unusually wild and selfish, which will leave the entire family teetering on the edge of a precipice.

Will the family fall?

Or will they, when it really matters, be there for each other?

A Tiny Bit Marvellous is the number one bestselling novel from one of Britain's favourite comic writers.

Ich habe teils Tränen gelacht.
Schon nachdem ich die Hörprobe gehört hatte, wusste ich, dass mir das Buch gefallen würde. Es ist aber auch sehr überzeugend gelesen.

Die Geschichte wird allein durch Tagebucheinträge erzählt, abwechselnd von der Mutter Mo und ihren zwei Kindern Dora (fast 18) und dem jüngeren Oscar. Jeder hat seine persönlichen Sichtweisen, die sich nicht decken - natürlich.
Mir hat auch die Handlung an sich gefallen. Unterhaltsam und nicht unbedingt vorhersehbar.
Hörenswert!

Der ganz normale Familienwahnsinn!
