Funny Girl by Nick Hornby. The book is being released by Plume on February 3, 2015.
Amazon says this about the book: From the bestselling author of High Fidelity, About a Boy, and A Long Way Down comes a highly anticipated new novel.
Set in 1960's London, Funny Girl is a lively account of the adventures of the intrepid young Sophie Straw as she navigates her transformation from provincial ingénue to television starlet amid a constellation of delightful characters. Insightful and humorous, Nick Hornby's latest does what he does best: endears us to a cast of characters who are funny if flawed, and forces us to examine ourselves in the process.
I've never read anything by this author, though I liked the movie adaptation of ABout a Boy.
