About this listen

Winner of the Yorkshire Post Novel of the Year Award.

From the bestselling author of the Cazalet Chronicles, Elizabeth Jane Howard, Getting It Right is a touching comedy about a young man trying desperately to come of age.

Gavin – a sensitive, shy, hairdresser in the West End – is, at thirty-one, still a virgin. He's a classic late developer, and he's worried that it's getting too late to develop at all.

Then, one night, Gavin finds himself at a penthouse party. There, he meets new people – the likes of which he's never come across before. Suddenly, everything begins to change. Over the next fortnight, Gavin might start, at last, to 'get it right' . . .

Critic Reviews

Crammed with incidental pleasures . . . sometimes sad but more frequently hilarious . . . Getting It Right gets it, comically, right. (Paul Bailey)
Her talent seemed so effervescent, so unstoppable, that there was no predicting where it might take her (Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall)
