About the Books
Dawn French made her mark as a novelist with three widely loved books that carry the same warmth and comic timing that defined her celebrated career on stage and screen. A Tiny Bit Marvellous introduces Mo Battle, a mother about to turn fifty, struggling to keep her wildly different teenage children, and herself, together during one turbulent year. It's a sharply funny yet tender look at family life and the messy business of growing older. Oh Dear Silvia unfolds at the bedside of a comatose woman as a parade of visitors, family, friends, and a mysterious stranger, unwittingly reveal the secrets and regrets of their intertwined lives. The structure lets French explore grief, memory, and human connection with humor and poignancy. According to YES follows Rosie Kitto, an American teacher whose infectious optimism disrupts the tightly controlled world of a wealthy New York family, prompting them to reconsider what truly matters. Across all three novels, French draws on her gift for observational comedy and understanding of family dynamics, crafting stories that are emotionally resonant and entertaining. Together, these novels represent some of French's most acclaimed fiction, collected in one affordable paperback set that's easy to gift or share.
