Funny Girl

Not my absolutely favorite, which is still High fidelity, followed closely by How to be good and Juliet, naked. But good, well written to the point that when I finished I had the same impulse as someone wrote int heir review of going online and checking if the facts had been true and what had been fiction, because there is so much that goes from one to the other.
Barbara, aka Sophie Straw, is a lovely character, strong and passionate. She wants to be a comedian, so she leaves her Miss Blackpool's tiara behind to pursue her dream and some time later, she is loved by many people who see that in her. But I must admit my favorite character was always Dennis. Inconspicuous and so sweet Dennis.
