About this ebook
'Warm, anxious and true - a Little Book of Un-Calm' Caitlin Moran
Shortlisted for Non-Fiction Book of the Year at the National Book Awards
Sometimes things are more ordinary than you think. And sometimes they're a whole lot odder than you can possibly imagine. By turns poignant, comic and uplifting, Curious is a book of stories from Rebecca Front's life, all of them true, though sometimes perhaps a little bent out of shape in the telling. It is a beguiling celebration of the curiosities of everyday life, and of what it is to be curious - in every sense of the word.

The book describes what the title says...Curious. I heard this book read on Radio 4 and was fascinated by it. If you too are interested in the weirdly wonderful events that occur in real life then this book is a must. Fascinating read.
