Description
A special 25th anniversary edition of Jaclyn Moriarty's internationally bestselling, hilariously candid first novel now considered a modern classic.
Life is complicated for Elizabeth Clarry. Her best friend Celia has disappeared, her absent father has reappeared, and her communication with her mother consists entirely of notes left on the fridge. And now, because her English teacher wants to rekindle the Joy of the Envelope, a Complete and Utter Stranger knows more about Elizabeth than anyone else.
Elizabeth is on the brink of change. She's about to lose a friend, find a friend and taste wine that smells like compost. And, maybe, she might also get to kiss the sexiest guy alive.
A #1 Australian bestseller when it was first published, Feeling Sorry for Celia is a funny, touching, revealing story written entirely in the form of letters, messages, postcards and missives from imaginary organisations like The Cold Hard Truth Association. A modern classic from the bestselling author of Time Travel for Beginners.
A stunning 25th anniversary collector's edition of Jaclyn Moriarty's award-winning and beloved bestseller featuring:
- A brand-new cover with embossed details
- Colourful sprayed edges
- New foreword by E Lockhart, NYT bestselling author of We Were Liars
- And ... brand new bonus letters between Elizabeth and Christina.
