'Quirky, original and charming' Sarah Turner ? The Unmumsy Mum
'Fresh, unique, powerful and incredibly poignant. And, of course, hilarious too!' Beth O'Leary
The fair is the only good thing that happens every year. And Fiona Larson is the only kid in town who's never been.
She's pretended to go - but she's never been allowed. Because, before Flora was even born, her sister died there.
This year everything will be different.
And Fiona Larson will find out what really happened.
Set in the summer of 1996, All The Fun of the Fair is a bittersweet, nostalgic, hilarious and heartbreaking mystery, perfect for Beth O'Leary, Ruth Jones and Marian Keyes.
Critics Review
-
Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking, it’s compelling and beautifully written
Daily Mail -
A nostalgic trip down memory lane with a heroine it’s impossible not to love.
The Sun -
Always such a treat to read a Caroline Hulse novel! I loved The Adults and Like A House On Fire, but I think this is my fave of them all. Quirky, original and charming, with plenty of school years nostalgia. I could not love Fiona more.
The Unmumsy Mum -
All the Fun of the Fair is an absolute JOY. Funny, clever, and with its mid-90s setting, brilliantly nostalgic. The hilarious, beleaguered protagonist, Fiona Larson, is the new Adrian Mole. Though she’d probably say Adrian had it easy, being a boy and all…
Nicola Mostyn -
Fiona Larson is one of the most memorable characters I’ve read for a long time. If you liked Adrian Mole or The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time then you’ll love All the Fun of the Fair.
Emma Cooper -
Fresh, unique, powerful and incredibly poignant. And, of course, hilarious too! Fiona is a wonderful character, completely three-dimensional and real, who will no doubt capture many hearts
