Review

"Fabulous... This is a very funny, very charming novel that we quite simply insist you read. Danuta is a very talented storyteller indeed.*****" Heat; "A cracking good read." Daily Express; "This is why French women dress better than we do: this book follows all the rules of finding the perfect pair of shoes. It's beautifully crafted, chic, witty, simultaneously classic and contemporary, and will stay with you forever." Jenny Colgan, author of Amanda's Wedding; "Populated by vibrantly drawn characters with fine turns of phrase, this first novel from the appallingly young Danuta de Rhodes is wonderfully fresh and witty." Helen Zaltzman, Observer; "Danuta de Rhodes' debut is breezy, funny and charming." Chris Power, The Times; "Observant, absurd, sentimental and often very, very funny." Patrick Ness, Telegraph; "Beautifully written, and very funny." Matt Thorne, Independent on Sunday; "Chic lit." Elle Magazine"

Product Description

After a relationship-breaking argument with her dull boyfriend, Veronique jumps into her little white Fiat and drives off into the Paris night. Feeling the effects of the wine she has been drinking, she makes sure she drives slowly and carefully, down into the underpass, not wanting to hit the sides of the tunnel . . . The Little White Car is a feel-good buddy novel about the untimely death of Diana, Princess of Wales, and how two gorgeous French girls go about urgently dismantling a car . . . while an enormous dog sniffs around in the garden.

This is perfect for a bubblegum read in the sun - the laughable story line does nothing to detract from the enjoyment of this book.
There is an undercurrent of cynicism, could call it realism I guess, underpinning the characters, the chipped and bent motivations and behaviour are painfully familiar, even a 'happy' ending can't save this lot. For me this lifts the little white car above the usual drossy chick lit it's parodying.
It's undoubtably from the hand of Dan Rhodes - if you liked the other stuff you'll love this.

'The Little White Car' 17 July 2004
Format:Paperback
'The Little White Car' has had some very bad press, but I think it is unfair. I thoroughly enjoyed this crazy tale, set in France. A perfect holiday read that you can get through in an afternoon, preferably in the sunshine somewhere!
Rumour has it that the author, Danuta de Rhodes is really Dan Rhodes, previous author of some books that I have read but did not enjoy too much. If it really is the same person, then he/she has changed style for the better.

Bob's your oncle! 2 Aug 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Well I think it's safe to say that this book was written by Dan Rhodes, and is the funniest book I have read in years. The completely implausible plot is spoofing all the naff chicklit that has terrorised us over the past few years, but at the same time is totally charming and warm. The characters are brilliant, especially enjoying Estelle who for some obscure reason is studying welsh poetry; the doctor who can dance, and Clement who almost has an episode with the dog bowl. It's only a short bookso I won't say any more about it - just read it (and if you haven't read Timoleon Vieta Come Home yet then buy that whilst you are on here), and don't take it too seriously!
