The Worst Date Ever

<p>When scriptwriter Jane Bussmann (<i>South Park The Fast Show Brass Eye</i> and <i>Smack the Pony</i>) moved to Hollywood it was supposed to be the start of something better. But a day job interviewing Paris Britney and Co. left her trapped in the Golden Age of Stupid. Then she saw a photograph of John Prendergast in <i>Vanity Fair</i>. His day job was ending war. He was also extremely attractive. Jane 'may have inferred she was a Foreign Correspondent' because suddenly she found herself on route to Africa on the trail of this modern-day Indiana Jones.</p><p> There was one problem: when she got to Uganda John had left. Alone in a war-torn country appalled by 25000 child abductions Jane must investigate the war crime of the century - to make John fancy her. Combining a maverick heroine an idealist hero comic disasters and moving tragedy this is brilliant storytelling by a hugely talented writer.</p><p> 'Jane Bussmann's romantic odyssey from Hollywood to Uganda is the funniest thing we've <i>ever</i> read.' <b><i>Instyle</i></b> Hot List</p><p> 'a marvellously maverick approach to the investigation of war crimes.' <b><i>Marie Claire</i></b> Five Stars</p><p> 'Imagine <i>The Last King of Scotland</i> written by Shazzer from <i>Bridget Jones's Diary</i> and you'd still only get halfway to appreciating Jane Bussmann's funny incongruous and artlessly perceptive account... this is one of the funniest books I've read for a long while' <b><i>The Sunday Times</i></b> </p><br><br><p> 'hilarious and heart-wrenching' The <b><i>Spectator</i></b></p>
