Went to London, Took the Dog: The Diary of a 60-Year-Old Runaway

English

By (author): Nina Stibbe

From the beloved writer Nina Stibbe, author of Love, Nina, a warm and funny story of a woman changing her life at sixty.

'A unique comic voice, endlessly funny' David Nicholls, author of One Day

'Painfully funny, but also deeply moving' Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss


What does it mean to start again at sixty?

In 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 . . .

This diary of a sixty-year-old runaway reunites us with the inimitable voice of Love, Nina, as the writer becomes, as she puts it, a proper adult at last.

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

'The true heir to Sue Townsend' Caitlin Moran


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

'Vulnerable, sharp, funny, wise' Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry


'No one writes heartbreak more hilariously, or hilarity more heartbreakingly' Katherine Heiny

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