Set in 1960's London， Funny Girl is a lively account of the adventures of the intrepid young Sophie Straw as she navigates her transformation from provincial ingénue to television starlet amid a constellation of delightful characters. Insightful and humorous， Nick Hornby's latest does what he does best: endears us to a cast of characters who are funny if flawed， and forces us to examine ourselves in the process.

在20世紀(jì)60年代的倫敦這一大背景下，《滑稽女郎》記述了天真無(wú)畏的少女Sophie Straw從一個(gè)鄉(xiāng)下姑娘搖身一變成為電視明星的冒險(xiǎn)故事。Nick Hornby這本最新的小說(shuō)發(fā)揮了他的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)：讓讀者喜歡上有缺陷但是滑稽有趣的角色，并同時(shí)在閱讀的過(guò)程當(dāng)中使讀者去審視自己。
