An Education is Nick Hornby's Oscar-nominated screenplay of Lynn Barber's life
Based on Lynn Barber's extraordinary memoir, An Education is set in the early 1960s and tells the story of a sixteen-year-old English girl's encounter and relationship with a charming older man who is much more, and much less, than he says he is.
Taking this strange story as his starting point, Nick Hornby has scripted an Oscar-nominated film, starring Carey Mulligan and Peter Sarsgraad, which is funny and shocking in equal measure - and which brilliantly captures a Britain emerging from the sleepy 50s and on the brink of a glittering new decade.
Fans of British writing and cinema alike, from Brighton Rock to Atonement will enjoy this mesmerizing book.
Nick Hornby is the bestselling author of nine novels, including High Fidelity, About a Boy, and Just Like You, as well as several works of nonfiction including Fever Pitch. His books have sold over 3.5 million copies in the UK, and many have been turned into successful films and TV series. He has been Oscar-nominated twice for his screenplays, and his TV work has won three Emmys. His work has been translated into more than 40 languages. He lives in London.
