Since November 2009Book Cover: A Tiny Bit Marvellous by Dawn French
September 27th, 2010 by Chloe
Comedienne Dawn French has her first fiction book out at the end of October, the 28th to be exact, and it’s called A Tiny Bit Marvellous. I found the cover on Amazon whilst browsing and have to say I don’t think it’s overly inspiring - it’s not a cover that would make me pick up the book at all. After reading the synopsis though, I do think it sounds great so here it is:
“Everyone hates the perfect family. So you’ll love the Battles. Mo is about to hit the big 50, and some uncomfortable truths are becoming quite apparent: She doesn’t understand either of her teenage kids, which as a child psychologist, is fairly embarrassing. She has become entirely grey. Inside, and out. Her face has surrendered and is frightening children. Dora is about to hit the big 18 . . . and about to hit anyone who annoys her, especially her precocious younger brother Peter who has a chronic Oscar Wilde fixation. Then there’s Dad . . . who’s just, well, dad. A TINY BIT MARVELLOUS is the story of a modern family all living in their own separate bubbles lurching towards meltdown. It is for anyone who has ever shared a home with that weird group of strangers we call relations. Oh and there’s a dog. Called Poo.”

I quite like the cover - rather minimalist, which I find appealing. Dear Fatty (her first book) was quite a good read - non fiction - so I’m looking forward to this one.:)
I can’t stand that cover! It doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest. I definitely wouldn’t equate it with Chick Lit.
I’ve been lucky enough to receive a proof copy of this for review, from Penguin. It looks really good!!
So, are you going to review this book? I was thinking about getting it
