Publisher Description
Discover the joyously funny and charming novel from Dawn French, number one bestselling author of A Tiny Bit Marvellous and Oh Dear Silvia
'I adored it. So charming, wise and brilliantly written' MARIAN KEYES
'Think the Vicar of Dibley, without the dog collar. YES YES YES indeed' Independent
The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy - otherwise known as Manhattan's Upper East Side - has its own rigid code of behaviour. It's a code strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family.
Emotional displays - unacceptable.
Unruly behaviour - definitely not welcome.
Fun - no thanks.
This is Glenn Wilder-Bingham's kingdom. A beautifully displayed, impeccably edited fortress of restraint.
So when Rosie Kitto, an eccentric thirty-eight-year-old primary school teacher from England, bounces into their lives with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises that she hasn't read the rule book.
Because after a lifetime of saying no, what happens when everyone decides to start saying . . . yes?
'There is lots of fun to be had reading this book. It's impossible not to warm to Rosie. There's something quite joyous about the way she unashamedly romps her way through the novel, changing the lives of those around her for the better' Express

Customer Reviews
Yes, Yes, Yes!
Hugely entertaining. The plot line may not be entirely believable but it really doesn't matter when you immerse yourself in this rollicking romp. It helps that the main character is very likeable. I would recommend this as a great escapist read!
Weird and kind of stupid
A weird and I thought far fetched story and very annoying you don’t even find out who the father is in the end. I’d give it a miss
Ergghhh
I love Dawn French. But I really didn't like the heroine of this story at all. It wasn't so much her choices and total lack of self control and morals that made me grit my teeth - but more the way she seemed to feel justified because she was all 'sweetness and light'. I wanted to like the book - but I just found it so irritating.
