A touching, tender story filled with wonderful humour. An absolute joy' Sarah Haywood 'A very special book, really enjoyable' Katie Fforde I don't have any friends, only dog ones, because they don't make you do bad things. I don't want any human friends, actually. It's for the best.' Hope Nicely hasn't had an easy life. But she's happy enough living at 23 Station Close with her mum, Jenny Nicely, and she loves her job, walking other people's dogs. She's a bit different, but as Jenny always tells her, she's a rainbow person, a special drop of light. It's just . . . there's something she needs to know. Why did her birth mother abandon her in a cardboard box on a church step twenty-five years ago? And did she know that drinking while pregnant could lead to Hope being born with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder? In a bid to find her birth mother and the answers to these questions, Hope decides to write her autobiography. Despite having been bullied throughout school, Hope bravely joins an evening class where Hope will not only learn the lessons of writing, but will also begin to discover more about the world around her, about herself and even make some (human) friends. But when Jenny suddenly falls ill, Hope realises there are many more lessons to come . . . Hope Nicely's Lessons for Life is a heartwarming, coming-of-age novel about loneliness, friendship, acceptance and, above all, hope.

Caroline Day is the Sunday Times bestselling author of her debut novel, Hope Nicely's Lessons for Life. Small Acts of Kindness is her latest novel. As a freelance journalist for national magazines and newspapers, Caroline Day wrote other people's stories: happy stories and sad stories, stories of the greatest tribulations and triumphs. Caroline lives in north London, with her husband, Ben, two greedy rescue dogs, and with occasional visits from her grown-up (but still lovely) children.
Rezensionen
Hope Nicely's Lessons for Life is a sunburst of a story, full of love, kindness and one of the sweetest, most engaging central characters you're likely to meet. I was drawn in from the very first page by Caroline Day's sensitive portrayal of Hope Nicely's inner voice; as I followed Hope on her mission to make sense of the present, to uncover the past and to write her book, I found myself sharing in her triumphs and frustrations, her laughter and tears. It's a touching, tender story, but Hope Nicely's wonderful humour and delicious honesty mean that it's never sentimental. An absolute joy
