The Trouble with Sister Francis (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A heart-warming sophomore novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of FRANK AND RED I'll always remember the first time I saw Sister Francis. It's not that I have a great memory, or anything, it's just kind of hard to forget the first time you see a 60-year-old nun, barrelling along at the wheel of a decrepit 1968 Ford Transit. Especially when the nun in question has a cigarette dangling from her lips, and the minibus in question is spewing dark smoke, backfiring, and has - in ornate type - the words 'ASS VIRGIN' written along its side. I know. This deserves explanation. 1981. Richie, Bennett, Kenny, and Stan are four best pals from the Whittle council estate, with not much to do but get up to no good. After a run-in with the local bullies, they find unexpected refuge in the crumbling boys' club at the local church. The Blessed Assumption Boys Club is run by Sister Francis: a sweary, chain-smoking and unlikely nun . . . and the most remarkable person any of them will ever meet. Set against the backdrop of early '80s Britain, The Dead Dads Club is a funny, heartwarming and heartbreaking story of unlikely heroes, quiet rebellions, fierce loyalty and unexpected hope. And at the centre of it all, a long-forgotten journal that might just change everything.

Autorenporträt

Matt Coyne is from Sheffield, South Yorkshire. In September 2015, his life was turned upside down by the arrival of his son, Charlie. Three months into parenthood, he took to social media to write about his experience as a clueless first-time dad. Within days, his post about surviving the early months of parenthood was shared by millions around the world.

Following this, Matt created his popular blog Man vs Baby, which now has more than 500,000 followers. He is the author of two Sunday Times bestselling books - Dummy and Man vs. Toddler - both based on Man vs Baby and has written for the Guardian, Telegraph, Private Eye and GQ.

The Dead Dads Club is Matt's second novel, following his acclaimed, award-winning debut Frank and Red.

Matt lives in Sheffield with his son Charlie, his partner Lyndsay and a Jack Russell terrier with 'issues' called Popcorn.
