À propos de cet audio

 Can you fall in love for the first time twice? A recently widowed women is about to find out when she wakes up and finds herself eighteen again in this "highly entertaining" story of second chances (Guardian) by the star of Peep Show

Kate's husband Luke -- the man she loved from the moment she met him twenty-eight years ago -- died suddenly. Since then she has pushed away her friend and lost her job, and everything is starting to fall apart.
One day, she wakes up in the wrong room and in the wrong body. She is eighteen again but remembers everything. This is her college room in 1992 on the first day of orientation. And this is the day she meets Luke.
Kate knows how he died, and that he's already ill. But Luke is not the man that she lost: he's still a boy -- the annoying nineteen-year-old English student she first met. If they can fall in love again despite everything, she might just be able to save him. She's going to try to do everything exactly the same . . .

Ce que les critiques en disent

"It's well paced, nicely written and highly entertaining. It's also a very rum concoction indeed -- as if someone had sandwiched a David Nicholls novel in the middle of a comedy thriller, using a Tardis."—The Guardian
"A genre-defying time-travel tale -- part adventure, part love story, part comedy, part dissertation on bereavement ... a breathtakingly insightful evocation of grief."—Sunday Times (UK)
"Robert Webb's effortlessly enjoyable debut novel is soaked in and a wry comment on nostalgia ... his execution is smart, unexpected and full of pop cultural nous. It's also a ripping adventure yarn ... Tender, thoughtful and terrific fun."—Metro (UK)
"Splendidly bleak, fabulously Nineties, and enjoyable."
—Daily Mail (UK)
"Come Again is excellent: moving, funny, and packed with great characters. It also has a slam-bang action ending."—Ian Rankin, author of the Inspector Rebus series
"Funny, brilliant, clever and unpredictable; I gobbled it up."—Jenny Colgan, USA Today bestselling author of The Bookshop on the Corner
Praise for HOW NOT TO BE A BOY
"Quite simply brilliant. I (genuinely) cried. I (genuinely) laughed out loud. It's profound, touching, personal yet universal . . . I loved it"
J.K. ROWLING

"With enormous poignancy and insight . . . Webb's early portrait of himself as a hapless underdog navigating the boulder-strewn path of masculinity is vividly drawn and very funny . . . Echoes of Adrian Mole"
Guardian

"Takes us deftly from hilarity to heart-stopping hurt . . . A truly great read, full of heart"
DAWN FRENCH

"Frank and compelling ... Laugh-out-loud funny ... also, in parts, blink-back-tears sad. Why would I blink back tears rather than give full rein to the emotion? Well, Webb can explain"
Mail On Sunday

"Written with wit and clarity, How Not To Be a Boy is a funny, rueful, truthful book. I enjoyed every page"
STEPHEN FRY

I can start with the statement I haven't enjoyed any book this much in years. So good.

Robert Webb and Olivia Colman. They've worked together on TV projects (both are in my favorite comdey sketch from Mitchell and Webb "Avocado" ) and he couldn't have asked a better actress to narrate his little fictional masterpiece. She brings all characters to life in your head as if they are different people speaking out loud. Scenes are set, feelings are identifiable. Wonderfully British.

Robert Webb has written much more than a time traveling, dream or not a dream?, parallel universe trope you could worry it might be. It's entertaining, new and thought provoking and small twists and turns keep you guessing. The female and male characters are ALL fleshed out and real feeling. Olivia Colman seamlessly, flawlessly, switches in real conversational timing between an array of accurate accents from Welsh, London Sloane, Cockney/East End, Russian, Sheffield etc. without once giving me earache. The writing is so solid, it lends itself to be read out loud and be believed.

It helps a bit, maybe, that I too was at University 1992-1995 in an English university town (not York, mind). And that's exactly how the world was then, cheap drinks, meeting people and being all strangers together, the music, the youthful energy and hedonism (plus no smart phones; if your friend disappeared, that was it til you jumped into them again). And how different it would if we went back in our mid 40s! Mind bending!

Listen to it, it's great.

Fun story, well written, brilliantly narrated

The author and performer of this story used to be in a comedy team together. It’s possible the author wrote this story with Olivia Colman in mind, or even directly for her. It’s entirely “her”.
I’m a fan of both of them so this find was comedy gold. It’s also a thought provoking tale of love, parallel universes, and friendship. I couldn’t stop listening - so much fun!

delightful - a feel-good story for troubling times
