Publisher's note

From the " New York Times" bestselling authorathe shooting script to his award-winning film, with an original Introduction and vivid stills from the movie.
Jenny is a 16-year-old girl stifled by the tedium of adolescence; she canat wait for her sophisticated adult life to begin. One rainy day her suburban existence is upended by the arrival of David, a much older suitor who introduces her to a glittering new world of concerts, art, smoky bars, urban nightlife, and his glamorous friends, replacing her traditional education with his own version. It could be her awakeningaor her undoing. This edition of Hornbyas adapted screenplay, which includes stills from the film, is a perfect accompaniment to the highly anticipated movie, which stars Carey Mulligan as Jenny, Peter Sarsgaard, Emma Thompson, Dominic Cooper, and Alfred Molina. It is a must-have for fans of Hornbyas novels, featuring his signature pitch-perfect dialogue, mordant wit, and the resonant humanity of his writing

The author's shooting script for the forthcoming movie of the same name tells the story of Jenny, a 16-year-old who is tired of teen life until she meets David, a much older suitor who induces her to the glittering world of urban nightlife, a new "education" that could prove to be her awakening--or her undoing--in an edition that includes movie stills. Original. Movie tie-in.

Annotation

Nick Hornby (ABOUT A BOY) has adapted Lynn Barber's memoir about her sexual experiences as a teenage girl in 1960s London into an original screenplay. Now fans of Hornby's can read his detailed shooting script, which tells the story of Jenny, a 16-year-old girl who finds herself caught up in the sophisticated and deceitful world of a much older man who charms her and her family. With an introduction by the author and a series of photographs from the film itself (starring Peter Sarsgaard and Alfred Molina), the AN EDUCATION screenplay shows Hornby's wonderful sense of wit and his understanding of youthful desire and angst.
