Greta and Valdin by Rebecca K Reilly

Book Cover Photo: VUP

Ten-part adaptation of a novel. Concerns the lives and loves of siblings, Greta and Valdin (both queer) and their colourful family and friends. They’ve all got their quirks and their issues but the family, as a whole, is supportive and loving. And funny.

'Greta and Valdin is a complete world. I was totally captivated. It is warm and funny, inventive and charming, with a genuine and earned tenderness at its heart.' —Kate Duignan, author of The New Ships and Breakwater

'Delightful, funny, wonderful . . . I laughed my way through this book. An incredible novel from a young new writer. I heartily recommend it to everybody.' —Claire Mabey, Afternoons with Jesse Mulligan

'Greta & Valdin is fresh, funny, tangled and brilliant. I can’t wait for someone to make the sitcom so I can keep Reilly’s characters in my life.' —Hannah Tunnicliffe, Kete Books
