Supermarket Supermodel

Jim Cartwright was born in Lancashire. He is the author of many prize-winning plays, including ROAD, BED, TWO, and THE RISE AND FALL OF LITTLE VOICE, which won the Evening Standard Best Comedy Award and the Olivier Award in 1992 and was made into the film LITTLE VOICE starring Jane Horrocks. His plays have been translated into 25 languages. This is his debut novel.

"Class act...a rollicking, sexy, pacy yarn" Guardian "Written in fizzing, high-voltage vernacular ... Cartwright is an intoxicating writer" Independent "Bold and brash, this playful Cinderella story is told with warm-hearted exuberance... Cartwright is adept at conjuring up vivid characters in a whizz-bang flash by giving them sparking, convincing dialogue." Daily Mail "The plot of SUPERMARKET SUPERMODEL is unlikely to the point of unbelievable, but it's meant to be...Cartwright's strength is in his dialogue and creation of character ...the playwright in him keeps the action moving along, and keeps the reader's interest alive" Times "Touching and funny" Observer
