About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The hilarious number one best seller by comedian and author of Because of You and According to Yes, Dawn French.

Everyone hates the perfect family - so you'll love the Battles.

Meet Mo Battle, about to turn 50 and mum to two helpless, hormonal teenagers. There's 17-year-old daughter Dora who blames Mo for, like, EVERYTHING and Peter who believes he's quite simply as darling and marvellous as his hero Oscar Wilde. Somewhere, keeping quiet, is Dad, who's just, well...Dad.

However, Mo is having a crisis. She's about to do something unusually wild and selfish, which will leave the entire family teetering on the edge of a precipice.

Will the family fall?

Or will they, when it really matters, be there for each other?

A Tiny Bit Marvellous is the number one best-selling novel from one of Britain's favourite comic writers.

I really enjoyed this book. The fact that Dawn French read it made it even better. It was funny, clever, a bit sad at times, but mostly hugely enjoyable.

A big bit brilliant

I enjoyed it from start to finish - gripped, it was funny, compelling and so grounded and rooted, whilst still unexpected!
I love Dawns writing and narrating - more please - a Bluebell in the making

All very relevant to my life. Nearly 50 plus 3 teenagers at home. Boys and girls. Loved the story. Really warm and well written plus great narration. Thank you

Dawn French is such a great narrator. The story covered many family issues, familiar to anyone 'enjoying life' with teenagers. A good listen,

Great, easy listening.
