How To Build A Girl

Following the massive success of the broadcaster and Times columnist’s best-selling memoir and feminist call-to-arms How To Be A Woman in 2011, Caitlin Moran has now penned her debut novel on a subject which will seem instantly familiar to her fans.
It’s a rites-of-passage tale set in the 1990s, narrated by its central character Johanna Morrigan, a 14-year-old gobby, fat teenager growing up in a working class family on a Wolverhampton council estate with four siblings and a rock musician father who is still chasing the dream.
