Synopsis
"1988. 12-year-old Harper Richardson's parents are divorced. Her mum got custody of her, the Mini, and five hundred tins of baked beans. Her dad got a mouldering cottage in a Midlands backwater village and default membership of the Lone Rangers single parents' club. Harper got questionable dress sense, a zest for life, two gerbils, and her Chambers dictionary, and the responsibility of fixing her parents' broken hearts...Set against a backdrop of high hairdos and higher interest rates, pop music and puberty, divorce and death, What a Way to Go is a warm, wise and witty tale of one girl tackling the business of growing up while those around her try not to fall apart.

Review
Succeeds in creating a touching and convincing portrait Source: The Sunday Times
A deft, absorbing book about a fascinating period. Source: The Times
It felt like looking in through the windows of Anne's life and I can't imagine the work it must have taken to create this effect yet make it also feel so seamless. Overall, an immensely enjoyable read. Source: Cambridge Magazine
Recreating the wit and extravagance of the times, this elegant, clever novel features an unusual heroine since Anne, who faces enormous personal tragedy, is gout-stricken, obsessed by food, a little dull and yet surrounded by the brightest sparks of the age. Joanne Limburg places us in the heart of this pageant of glorious individuals with Anne at its centre. Source: Sunday Express
A dazzling tour de force. Source: The Jewish Chronicle
Joanne Limburg makes up for many years of neglect in her exceptionally well-researched historical novel. Author: Matilda Bathurst Source: Country Life
