About this listen
The funny, wise and brilliant new novel from the star of QI and the author of Between the Stops - an instant Sunday Times bestseller
'Warm, witty and wise... the perfect balm for these turbulent times' GRAHAM NORTON
After much searching, the happily married young couple, Amber and Stevie think they have found the perfect spot in Grimaldi Square. Despite the rundown pub across the way, the overgrown garden and a decidedly nosy neighbour, number 4 is the house of their dreams. Stevie, a woman who has never left anything to chance, has planned everything so nothing can spoil their happiness. But ... upstairs in their new home, seated on an old red sofa is the woman they bought the place from - eighty-year-old foul-mouthed, straight-talking, wise-cracking Dorothy - who has decided that she's not going anywhere. It turns out that Dorothy will be only the first in a line of life-changing surprises.
Friends of Dorothy is a touching, funny novel about a family that is not biological, but logical; a story close to Sandi Toksvig's heart.

An enjoyable book
Sandi Toksvig is brilliant reading her book. I often get distracted listening to books but not at all with this one. A really good, easy listen, easy to follow, not too many characters and just enjoyable.

Different and very enjoyable!
Can’t help but love Sandi Toksvig, she’s so incredibly talented and funny. Received a copy of this book from her live show but decided to buy it in audible so that I could listen to Sandi reading it to me!
Really enjoyed the storyline, it’s an easy listen with likeable characters.
Loved Stevie and Amber, would like a follow up book with more of them in, please…

Brilliance
I did not want this book to end! Listening on audible I had no shame literally laughing out loud walking along the street. Loved the characters, such a fab story of friendship and lives intertwined to take care of one another. Would make a fab film 10/10 👏🏻 🌟
