An incredibly funny,very upmarket love story with an enchanting heroine and the perfect romantic hero: a tartar with a heart of goldAnother question I've been regularly asked over the past year is what models I had in mind when writing Curious Incident. Was it To Kill a Mockingbird Was it Catcher in the Rye In fact,the book most often in my mind was Pride and PrejudiceThe wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her tasteI am a great admirer of Jane AustenThe best-loved book by our best-loved novelist
