Summary
The funny, wise and brilliant new novel from the star of QI and the author of Between the Stops - an instant Sunday Times bestseller
'Warm, witty and wise... the perfect balm for these turbulent times' GRAHAM NORTON
After much searching, the happily married young couple, Amber and Stevie think they have found the perfect spot in Grimaldi Square. Despite the rundown pub across the way, the overgrown garden and a decidedly nosy neighbour, number 4 is the house of their dreams. Stevie, a woman who has never left anything to chance, has planned everything so nothing can spoil their happiness. But ... upstairs in their new home, seated on an old red sofa is the woman they bought the place from - eighty-year-old foul-mouthed, straight-talking, wise-cracking Dorothy - who has decided that she's not going anywhere. It turns out that Dorothy will be only the first in a line of life-changing surprises.
Friends of Dorothy is a touching, funny novel about a family that is not biological, but logical; a story close to Sandi Toksvig's heart.

Holiday laughs
I took this on holiday and laughed a lot. I want a pint in the Onion and want to see the gardens in Gramaldi Square. Sandi enchants from start to finish. 100% recommend

Different and very enjoyable!
Can’t help but love Sandi Toksvig, she’s so incredibly talented and funny. Received a copy of this book from her live show but decided to buy it in audible so that I could listen to Sandi reading it to me!
Really enjoyed the storyline, it’s an easy listen with likeable characters.
Loved Stevie and Amber, would like a follow up book with more of them in, please…

A much needed escape
Toksvig has created a somewhat idealised, but compelling community of endearing characters. I was won over by this hopeful story of the unconditional love of the chosen family. A much needed escape from the increasing negativity we struggle through in society and a roadmap on how it might be improved.
