Another Planet: A Teenager in Suburbia - Signed Edition (Hardback)

'Another Planet is about being a teenager in suburbia in the 1970s, and revisiting one's own youth from middle age. It touches on class, culture, music, plum jam and parenting teens. It's wonderful. You'll read it in one go.' - Nina Stibbe

'What a wise and funny book. Nostalgic but unsentimental, Thorn beautifully captures the aspirations, ennui and angst of suburban teenage life. I loved it.' -  David Nicholls

'I loved it. Thorn is the rarest of things: a singer whose phrasing is as good on the page as it is through a microphone.' - John Niven

Utter genius... It's wise and funny and moving and smart, but more than all of those things, the writing is just breathtaking... I am blown away.' - Joanna Cannon

'I adored this. Wise, tender, beautifully observed, deadly funny. A Green Belt memoir classic.' - Max Porter

'The planet in question is one that so many of us were beamed down from but, oddly, it remains a rarely described place - Tracey Thorn redresses that here in a memoir that is written with great humour and skill, and with a poignancy that deepens as the pages turn.' - Kevin Barry

'Another Planet made me yearn for a suburban childhood and a night out dancing with Tracey Teen... Reveals the duality and danger that lies not too far beneath the surface of this seemingly safe suburb. Tender, funny and unexpectedly dark.' - Damian Barr

'I devoured Another Planet. Thorn's intimate reflections on teenage angst, motherhood, panic attacks, family and music are so moving and insightful, and written with wit and sensitivity.' - Cosey Fanni Tutti

'Another Planet is a poignant, rueful, tender portrait of a world so little written about, but which so many of us will recognise. I devoured it. Thorn is a brilliant writer, and a brilliantly insightful chronicler of a certain type of English experience.' - Melissa Harrison

'Tracey Thorn turns the tables on her teenage boredom and chips a jewel out of doing stuff - and not doing stuff - in suburbia. A meditation on mooching and moping, escaping and finding, mums and dads, love and ageing, which is reflective, warm and deeply touching.' - Keggie Carew
