Über diesen Titel

 The latest novel from million-copy bestseller author Graham Norton - a dazzling, decades-sweeping story about love, bravery and what it means to live a significant life.

'Warm and wise, Frankie is a woman worth getting to know'
BONNIE GARMUS

'I loved Frankie so much. I couldn't stop reading it, but feel bereft now that I've finished'

'A masterclass in storytelling that grabs you by the heartstrings from page one and refuses to let go'
SUNDAY INDEPENDENT

Always on the periphery, looking on, young Frankie Howe was never quite sure enough of herself to take centre stage - after all, life had already judged her harshly. Now old, Frankie finds it easier to forget the life that came before.

Then Damian, a young Irish carer, arrives at her London flat, there to keep an eye on her as she recovers from a fall. A memory is sparked, and the past crackles into life as Damian listens to the story Frankie has kept stored away all these years.

Travelling from post-war Ireland to 1960s New York - a city full of art, larger than life characters and turmoil - Frankie shares a world in which friendship and chance encounters collide. A place where, for a while, life blazes with an intensity that can't last but will perhaps live on in other ways and in other people. But as Frankie's past slowly emerges, her spirit and endurance are revealed as undeniable . . . and unforgettable.

'Fascinating, funny, sad... Every page is intriguing. Once again, Graham shows his class as a writer'

Kritikerstimmen

Immersive, stunningly written and very emotional - this is a triumph. I defy anyone not to love it (but bring tissues!). Graham's writing gets better and better, and Frankie is his best yet
I loved Frankie so much. I couldn't stop reading it, but feel bereft now that I've finished
A masterclass in storytelling that grabs you by the heartstrings from page one and refuses to let go
Frankie is popular fiction at its best... Beautifully crafted and impeccably researched
An eventful story about well-drawn characters... Compelling, interesting and enjoyable
Warm and wise, Frankie is a woman worth getting to know
I was enthralled by Frankie from page one. It's a beauty. A warm, deeply moving, life-enhancing novel
Wonderful ... [Norton's] sweeping fifth novel traces the life of the eponymous protagonist as she relays it to her young Irish carer
Beautifully warm and empathetic . . . Frankie is one of the most wonderful characters I've come across in a long time
A masterclass in storytelling that grabs you by the heartstrings from page one and refuses to let go
What an unforgettable, heartening book; everybody should read it. The accumulation of grief, the revelation of joy, is so brilliant in the story - from Cork to Picadilly to Greenwich Village - and I just loved every page. Frankie is a triumph, a beautiful book of sunshine and memory
A vivid portrait of one woman's life along with her closest friend, from censorious Ireland of the 1950s to high society New York of the 60s and 70s and the utter devastation of the AIDS epidemic of the 80s. Frankie is a beautifully written, entertaining and intriguing read - I couldn't have loved it more
I was bereft when I turned the last page. I adored Frankie and the storytelling was sublime
Travelling from 1940s Ireland to the glamour of New York in the 1960s, this tender and witty story shows that the TV star is a writer to reckon with
A great sweep of a novel, full of unexpected twists; Frankie's riveting story is both a tribute to lifelong friendship and the kindness of strangers
Fascinating, funny, sad . . . Every page is intriguing. Once again, Graham shows his class as a writer
His best yet! Frankie is about a quiet woman who's dismissed and disrespected but lives an extraordinary life. Packed with surprises, it's moving riveting and enriching
The glorious unfolding of a life, beautifully written, heartbreakingly honest

Graham has really pulled off something with this. Absolutely lovely story with very real characters, who you can really believe in. When you think of the whole story from start to finish it’s quite astonishing in its scale of storytelling. It brought many a tear to my eyes and also a lot of smiles. Absolutely lovely!

Another wonderful story by Graham Norton. An unexpected journey through an almost forgotten time. An extra bonus that he reads it himself. I enjoyed every minute. Thank you.
