Heartbreak Hotel

Another hilarious and heart-warming tale from the author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel * Marie Claire UK *This warm, funny and generous romp of a novel is a delight * Independent *An addictive and funny novel: if there is a book more like a Richard Curtis film, you’d be hard-pressed to find it * Psychologies *A hilarious romp that showcases Moggach’s loving understanding of human foibles and which you will finish reading feeling a whole lot better about yourself – Victoria Cooper * Red Online *This is a comic performance so footsure it almost tap-dances * Sunday Times *Moggach’s glorious sense of humour, the ease with which she inhabits her characters and her affections for them are apparent on every page. No wonder this astute and funny exploration of love and longing is being adapted for television – Christie Hickman * Sunday Express *Perceptive, engaging and at times laugh-out-loud funny, Moggach writes with a sharp wit to create a very readable narrative – Alexandra Williams * Big Issue in the North *The author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel repeats her earlier recipe by setting loose a group of quirky characters in a run-down hotel, this time in the fictional Knockton in Wales * Sunday Telegraph *[Moggach] is witty, on the button when it comes to the state of the nation and, above all, heroically generous with the warmth she dispenses. It’s a real skill to do this without descending into sickliness. Perfect for easing into autumn – Jane Housham * Guardian *There’s a generous warmth to Moggach’s characterisation. She has plenty of fun with Buffy’s slightly hammy cast in what is essentially a well spun comic yarn, probing personal foibles and ill-advised attachments (including Buffy’s own chaotic amorous history) for the gentle edification of all. The result is an affable, up­beat entertainment with plenty of wit and humour – James Urquhart * Financial Times *
