About this listen
The funny, wise and brilliant new novel from the star of QI and the author of Between the Stops - an instant Sunday Times bestseller
'Warm, witty and wise . . . the perfect balm for these turbulent times' GRAHAM NORTON
After much searching, the happily married young couple, Amber and Stevie think they have found the perfect spot in Grimaldi Square. Despite the rundown pub across the way, the overgrown garden and a decidedly nosy neighbour, number 4 is the house of their dreams. Stevie, a woman who has never left anything to chance, has planned everything so nothing can spoil their happiness. But upstairs in their new home, seated on an old red sofa is the woman they bought the place from - eighty-year-old foul-mouthed, straight-talking, wise-cracking Dorothy - who has decided that she's not going anywhere. It turns out that Dorothy will be only the first in a line of life-changing surprises.
Friends of Dorothy is a touching, funny novel about a family that is not biological, but logical; a story close to Sandi Toksvig's heart.

A story of hope
What a beautiful story of hope with characters that I grew to love. And Sandi's voice is a tonic to make any day that bit better.

Brilliant!! Had me giggling, heartwarming and also sad at the same time.
I loved, loved, loved this book by Sandy, I finished it and was disappointed I wanted more.
The characters were so likeable and the fact that it was read by Sandy herself made it more enjoyable.
Dorothy was a joy, I kind of wished she were my grandmother and that I lived in that village too.
Thank you 😍
