Dawn French, number one bestselling author of A Tiny Bit Marvellous and Oh Dear Silvia, returns with her joyously funny new novel, According To Yes. The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy — otherwise known as Manhattan's Upper East Side — has its own rigid code of behaviour. It's a code strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family. Emotional displays — unacceptable. Unruly behaviour — definitely not welcome. Fun — no thanks. This is Glenn Wilder-Bingham's kingdom. A beautifully displayed impeccably edited fortress of restraint. So when Rosie Kitto, an eccentric thirty-eight-year-old primary school teacher from England, bounces into their lives with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises that she hasn't read the rule book. For the Wilder-Bingham family, whose lives begin to unravel thread by thread, the consequences are explosive. Because after a lifetime of saying no, what happens when everyone decides to start saying …yes? Praise for Dawn French: 'A fantastic slam-dunk pageturner. Funny, enriching …page after page I laughed out loud'. (Mail on Sunday). 'A hilarious snapshot of family life in the twenty-first century'. (Sunday Express). 'Extremely funny'. (Sunday Times). 'Dawn tackles the big ones — love, death, grief, childhood, motherhood, parenthood — head on'. (Guardian). 'Makes you laugh on every page'. (The Times). 'A brilliantly observed, very funny novel of family life'. (Woman and Home). 'Funny, really enjoyable, highly recommended. A wonderful writer — witty, wise, poignant'. (Daily Mail).
