Went to London, Took the Dog


Nina Stibbe is surprised to find herself asking this question as she leaves married life behind in Cornwall and heads back to London after twenty years away for what she calls ‘a year-long sabbatical.

She takes up lodgings at the house of writer Deborah Moggach, unprepared for how she, and the city, has changed and now wondering whether freedom is all its cracked up to be . . .

As heard on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour

The true heir to Sue Townsend

An utter, UTTER treat! It was like spending time with my most clever, insightful, funny, FUNNY friend

Vulnerable, sharp, funny, wise

No one writes heartbreak more hilariously, or hilarity more heartbreakingly

So sharp and funny, blissfully gossipy, enviably well-observed . . . I loved it
