Starter For Ten : The debut novel by the author of ONE DAY and YOU ARE HERE

Starter for Ten: the Sunday Times-bestselling comedy about love, class, growing up and the all-important difference between knowledge and wisdom 'Painfully funny' ELLE 'Hugely entertaining' DAILY MAIL 'Wincingly good' TIME OUT It's 1985 and Brian Jackson has arrived at university with a burning ambition - to make it onto TV's foremost general knowledge quiz. But no sooner has he embarked on 'The Challenge' than he finds himself falling hopelessly in love with his teammate, the beautiful and charismatic would-be actress Alice Harbinson. When Alice fails to fall for his slightly over-eager charms, Brian comes up with a foolproof plan to capture her heart once and for all: he's going to win the game, at any cost. Because - after all - everyone knows that what a woman really wants from a man is a comprehensive grasp of general knowledge . . .
