About the book

'Longevity is the only indicator of literature that really matters, and this book is built to last' Nick Hornby

One of the most beloved coming-of-age tales ever written, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing tells of Jane Rosenal and her spirited expedition through the perilous terrain of sex, love, and the treacherous waters of the workplace. From cocktail parties to country houses, young love to older men, Jane's experiences form an unforgettable, hilarious patchwork of contemporary romance.
This twenty-fifth anniversary edition includes a insightful, poignant foreword by Nick Hornby.

'Beautifully written and very funny' - Guardian
