[Bookpossum]

I would like to nominate a book I read quite some time ago, when it came out. I remember it as deliciously funny, and would enjoy revisiting it.

Getting It Right by Elizabeth Jane Howard. From Kobo:

From the bestselling author of The Cazelet Chronicles comes Elizabeth Jane Howard's Getting It Right, a touching comedy about a young man trying desperately to get it right.
(Winner of the Yorkshire Post Novel of the Year Award.)

Gavin - a sensitive, shy, hairdresser in the West End - is, at thirty-one, still a virgin. He's a classic late developer, and he's worried that it's getting too late to develop at all. Then one night, Gavin finds himself at a penthouse party and, meets people the likes of which he's never come across before, and suddenly, everything begins to change . . . Over the next fortnight, Gavin might start, at last, to "get it right".

'Crammed with incidental pleasures . . . sometimes sad but more frequently hilarious . . . Getting It Right gets it, comically, right' Paul Bailey, Evening Standard.

Prices from Kobo: $US8.69, $C11.19, $A9.99, $NZ10.99, £6.47.
