Product Description

Review

‘Witty, romantic and irreverent… Inventive, funny and affecting, this is a story that is powerful without being mawkish.’ Daily Mail

'Along with her whip-cracking dialogue, it is quirky images that are Murray's forte … throwing the freewheeeling antics of the Happys into hilarious relief.' The Observer

'Murray manages to counterpoint beautifully the loveless, the perverse and even the wicked with all that is tender and true in human relationships.' Zoe Strimpel, Time Out

‘Woody Allen visits Cold Comfort Farm.’ Boyd Tonkin, Independent

Independent

'Brimming with secrets and surprises, this deliciously funny novel is a delight.'

5.0 out of 5 stars More from Murray please!, 11 Oct 2005

Kitty Adam - See all my reviews

This review is from: Happy Accidents (Paperback)

As a huge fan of Cold Comfort Farm i was intrigued to read this new writer's work and see how she could possibly have lived up to that perennial classic. Well.....i'm very pleased to say that she does and in spades. An original, imaginative voice shines through on every page with hilarious descrptions of life in rural England in the eighties and a whole host of wonderful characters.

Kate Happy is the most fantastic protagonist, her descriptions of her bizarre life are both fascinating and hilarious and Murray makes this child's voice shine through so perfectly.

A firm recommendation for reading groups as you can spend hours discussing who your favourite character was and which scene you loved best. I defy anyone not to roar with laughter at the scene with Aunt Reggie and the renactment of the Battle of Britain!

One of my favourite books of 2005, fingers crossed that Tiffany Murray writes another one soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brillantly Happy Accident, 1 Nov 2004

"fine21129" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Happy Accidents (Paperback)

Wonderfully funny, but with touches of Bruce Chatwin's On The Black Hill. Haven't enjoyed a book so much in a long time, clever yet thoroughly entertaining - the Happy family are very hard to forget. I can't recommend it enough. Brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Believe the critics and make this the smash it deserves, 30 Jan 2005

Juliet Benson "JulieB" (Wiltshire) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Happy Accidents (Paperback)

I haven't got the time or space to express how much I loved reading Happy Accidents. By the end, I was slowing down to a snail's pace, so desperate was I not to finish it, knowing that then some colour would go out of my life. It is funny, touching, agonisingly reminiscent of the Eighties (I think I must be the same age as the author - 36 - because her memories are just too similar to my own)and wonderfully, vibrantly mad! I have now bought it for my mother, both sisters-in-law and about 14 friends. If you buy one book this year, make it Happy Accidents: you'll love it.
