Description

Sometimes things are more ordinary than you think. And sometimes they're a whole lot odder than you can possibly imagine . . .

By turns poignant, comic and uplifting, CURIOUS is a book of stories from Rebecca Front's life, all of them true, though sometimes perhaps a little bent out of shape in the telling. It is a beguiling celebration of the curiosities of everyday life, and of what it is to be curious - in every sense of the word.

Critic Reviews

“Rebecca Front is an award-winning actress from TV political satire The Thick of It and also, it turns, out a brilliant storyteller. She's written for The Guardian and The Independent for years and Curious is her first book. Sharp, funny and often poignant, it is a collection of witty stories and sketches from her own life.”

Warm, anxious and true - a Little Book of Un-Calm

This book is like its author: funny, wise, thoughtful, surprising and a delight to spend an evening with

She's equally at ease collaborating with Steve Coogan and Armando Iannucci as she is in cosy crime such as MIDSOMER MURDER and LEWIS. The one constant is an eyebrow arched high. This winning delivery comes across in CURIOUS, in which she mixes autobiography with baffled rant. And like her screen persona, her writing is funny and touching - DAILY TELEGRAPH

A brilliant storyteller, it's the curious in the quotidian that attracts her gaze as she spins her funny and poignant tales - SCOTSMAN
