Sister Francis is an unlikely nun.

She's sixty, sweary, drives like a lunatic and smokes like a stacked chimney . . . and she runs the Blessed Assumption Boys Club.

Richie, Bennett, Kenny and Stan are four best friends from the Whittle council estate with little to do but get up to no good. After a run-in with local bullies, they discover the crumbling, forgotten club and find themselves in the company of the most remarkable person they will ever meet.

Set against early 1980s Britain, THE TROUBLE WITH SISTER FRANCIS is a funny, heartwarming, and heartbreaking story of unlikely heroes, quiet rebellions, fierce loyalty and unexpected hope.

And at the centre of it all lies a long-forgotten journal that might just change everything.

批評家のレビュー

Matt Coyne has created an icon in Sister Francis, and a beautifully immersive coming of age story that is so much more than a group of young boys and their unconventional mentor. Prepare to be transported back to the early 1980s and to lose your heart several times on the way back. Wonderfully written, tender, funny and absorbing, this might just be my feelgood read of the year.
Sister Francis is an icon, and Matt Coyne is a genius. I defy you to read this book without smiling, laughing and weeping.
Another hilarious, heartfelt triumph from Matt Coyne. Full of nostalgia, unforgettable characters and the kind of immersive, timeless storytelling we are all yearning for right now.
A heartwarming story with a fantastic premise
Warm, funny, nostalgic, I defy any reader not to fall in love with the legend that is Sister Francis. Another triumph from a huge talent.
Matt Coyne is an extraordinary storyteller, Sister Francis is an icon and everyone needs this heartwarming novel in their lives.
A nostalgic masterpiece . . . their banter and childhood innocence are charming, capturing the humour of the era while revealing a more poignant, emotional edge. A funny, heart-warming and heartbreaking story of ordinary heroes, quiet rebellions and unexpected hope.
A novel full of heart and humour - Matt Coyne is the master of unlikely friendships and beautifully drawn characters
