According to Yes

Dawn French, number one bestselling author of A Tiny Bit Marvellous and Oh Dear Silvia, returns with her joyously funny new novel, According To Yes. The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy – otherwise known as Manhattan`s Upper East Side – has its own rigid code of behaviour. It`s a code strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family. Emotional displays – unacceptable. Unruly behaviour – definitely not welcome. Fun – no thanks. This is Glenn Wilder-Bingham`s kingdom. A beautifully displayed impeccably edited fortress of restraint. So when Rosie Kitto, an eccentric thirty-eight-year-old primary school teacher from England, bounces into their lives with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises that she hasn`t read the rule book. For the Wilder-Bingham family, whose lives begin to unravel thread by thread, the consequences are explosive. Because after a lifetime of saying no, what happens when everyone decides to start saying …yes? I adored According to YES. It`s so different to anything I`ve read in forever, so charming, wise, brilliantly written. I loved it all` Marian Keyes `There is lots of fun to be had reading this book.It`s impossible not to warm to Rosie, a funny and open-hearted woman who acts as a salve and comfort blanket for this unhappy, inhibited family. There`s something quite joyous about the way she unashamedly romps her way through the novel, changing the lives of those around her for the better` Express `French can spin a yarn …which sets According to YES apart from the usual chick-lit template. Think the vicar of Dibley, without the dog collar. YES YES YES indeed` Independent Further praise for Dawn French: `A fantastic slam-dunk pageturner. Funny, enriching …page after page I laughed out loud` Mail on Sunday `A hilarious snapshot of family life in the twenty-first century` Sunday Express `Extremely funny` Sunday Times `Dawn tackles the big ones – love, death, grief, childhood, motherhood, parenthood – head on`Guardian `Makes you laugh on every page` The Times `A brilliantly observed, very funny novel of family life` Woman and Home `Funny, really enjoyable, highly recommended. A wonderful writer – witty, wise, poignant` Daily Mail
