Bloomsbury presents Hideous Kinky, written and read by Esther Freud
Quirky, charming and suffused the footloose spirit of the sixties, this is the irresistible story of an English woman who decides on a whim to move herself and her two young daughters to Morocco. The ensuing adventure takes them through richly perfumed markets, dilapidated hotels and mystical Sufi retreats, via friendships and feuds, romances with nomadic street performers, hitch-hiking and nights camping by the coast - all seen through the eyes of a precocious five-year-old girl. Rediscover this transporting modern classic about the spirit of freedom, filled with the sights, smells and textures of twentieth century Morocco.
Esther Freud is the author of nine previous novels, and her work has been translated into thirteen languages. Her first novel, Hideous Kinky, was made into a film starring Kate Winslet. Freud was selected as one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists in 1993. Her other novels include The Sea House, Mr Mac and Me and I Couldn't Love You More. Her first full-length play, Stitchers, was produced in London in 2018; her first book for children, Enchanted Beach, will be published in the summer of 2025. She lives in London.
