The Book of George (Signed Edition) British Library BOTM - January

The Book of George (Signed Edition) British Library BOTM - January

The British Library Bookshop's Book of the Month for January 2026

We all know a George. He's the kind of guy who's brimming with potential but incapable of following through; he doesn't know if he's in love with his girlfriend, but he certainly likes having her around; he's distant from - but still reliant on - his mother; he swears he'll finish his novel one day.

Sure, you might find him disappointing. But no one is more disappointed in George than George himself.

As funny as it is astute and as singular as it is universal, The Book of George is a deft, unexpectedly moving never-coming-of-age tale and a portrait of one man, but also countless others.

 

The BL Bookshop Says:

"We all know a George. You’ve dated him, lived with him, worried about him… or, on a bad day, briefly been him. The Book of George is wickedly funny, painfully astute and quietly devastating. A millennial tragicomedy about potential, paralysis and the long art of not quite growing up. Kate Greathead writes with razor-sharp wit and deep compassion, turning one deeply frustrating man into an unforgettable portrait of a generation still figuring itself out. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you’ll recognise far more than you’d like to admit."
