Synopsis
The astonishing debut novel from international number one bestselling author Paullina Simons, now beautifully repackaged Tully Makker is a tough young woman from the wrong side of the tracks and she is not always easy to like. But if Tully gives friendship and loyalty, she gives them for good, and she forms an enduring bond with Jennifer and Julie, schoolfriends from very different backgrounds. As they grow into the world of the seventies and eighties, the lives of the three best friends are changed forever by two young men, Robin and Jack, and a tragedy which engulfs them all. Against the odds, Tully emerges into young womanhood, marriage and a career. At last Tully Makker has life under control. And then life striles back in the most unexpected way of all...

Customer Reviews

Tully
It's clever, sad and beautifully written, yes it will make you look at life but you must be warned, only to be read when everything is wonderful in your life when you read this book to be able to cope with the depressing nature.

My favourite book of all time.
This book is a simply a master piece. I have read it about 6 times since I first read it when I was 17. Everytime I pick up, I just cannot put it down. It is such a good book.

It decribes the life of a simple girl and all the mistakes she seems to make.

I see a lot of myself in Tully. I leant the book to my cousin and after reading it she said she saw a lot of herself in Tully then I passed the book onto my best friend who also said she saw herself in Tully. All three of us are very different but thats the beauty of Tully, she represents all girls. Each of us will see a part of us in her.

Beautifully written, the book explores the issues of friendships, relationships and family. As Tully grows into a woman, we, the readers grow with her. We laugh with Tully and we cry with Tully through the book.

I loved the book when I first read it and after 7 years, I continue to love it. Read and u will be surprised.

nothing compares to u
This is quite simply my favourite book ever. I have read it many times over the years and every time I gain a new perspective on the story. I won't go in to detail......just read it. It's brilliant!
