Friends of Dorothy cover

The funny, wise and brilliant new novel from the star of QI and the author of Between the Stops

After much searching, Amber and Stevie find the perfect house - a bit shabby but with potential - in Grimaldi Square. Just the two of them; a place where they can start their lives together. Recently married, they want to begin a family (with the help of their gay best friend, Jack). Despite the rundown pub across the way, the overgrown garden and a decidedly nosy neighbour, it's the house of their dreams.

But they are not alone in this dream.

Upstairs, squatting on an old red sofa, is the former owner - eighty-year-old foul-mouthed, straight-talking, wise-cracking Dorothy - and she's not going anywhere.

A story close to Sandi Toksvig's heart, Friends of Dorothy is a wonderful, funny, touching novel about making a family that is not biological, but logical.
