About this listen

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook of Nick Hornby's touching tale Juliet, Naked, read by Jennifer Wiltsie, Bill Irwin and Ben Miles.

Annie's put fifteen years into safe, slightly obsessive Duncan, and now she'd like her money back, please. It's time to move on. But she lives in Gooleness, the north's answer to a question nobody asked. Is she really going to find real, proper, fell-it-deep-down-in-your-boots love on a damp and windy seafront? Or perhaps she should follow her heart and pursue Tucker, the reclusive American rock star, who keeps emailing her his smart advice.

But between Annie and her second chance lie a few obstacles. There's Malcolm, the world's most judgemental therapist, and Barnesy, the north's most extrovert dancer. There's what men and women will do and won't do for love. And, of course, there's Tucker...

Hilarious and tender, this bestselling novel will move you in ways both profound and surprising. It's Nick Hornby at his brilliant best. If you like David Nicholls, David Sedaris and Jonathan Coe you will love this book.

Critic Reviews

"He should write for England." ( Observer)
"Hornby writes with a funny, fresh voice which skewers male and female foibles with hilarious accuracy." ( Guardian)
"Hornby is a fine writer, swift and pointed, with a lighter more mischevious heart than he lets on, and more sympathy for the devil than he admits to." ( New York magazine)
"Hornby's best novel to date" ( Spectator)
"Sharply funny, touching" ( Daily Telegraph)
"Pitch-perfect" ( Observer)

Hornby writes with humor and satire, drawing unlikely characters into each other's orbits. Funny, clever, this book provides insight into our utter fascination with the music world.

Really disliked this. Story was rubbish and characters were bland. A tough slog to the end.
