Getting It Right By Howard, Elizabeth J

Winner of the Yorkshire Post Novel of the Year Award.

From the bestselling author of the Cazalet Chronicles, Elizabeth Jane Howard, Getting It Right is a touching comedy about a young man trying desperately to come of age.

Gavin – a sensitive, shy, hairdresser in the West End – is, at thirty-one, still a virgin. He''s a classic late developer, and he''s worried that it''s getting too late to develop at all.

Then, one night, Gavin finds himself at a penthouse party. There, he meets new people – the likes of which he''s never come across before. Suddenly, everything begins to change. Over the next fortnight, Gavin might start, at last, to ''get it right'' . . .

''Sometimes sad but more frequently hilarious . . . Getting It Right gets it, comically, right'' – Evening Standard
