Although many readers find themselves giggling aloud as they read Anne Fine's writing, her books can be deceptively weighty. "A lot of my work, even for fairly young readers, raises quite serious social issues," she admits. "Growing up is a long and confusing business. I try to show that the battle through the chaos is worthwhile and can, at times, be seen as very funny."

Quotes by Anne Fine

“Yesterday, when we were packing, Julius asked me,

"If you could rub Tulip out of your past life, would you do it?"

And I had to shake my head. I can't regret the times we had together. Sometimes I worry I won't have times like that again, that there will be no lit nights, no incandescent days. But I know it's not true. There can be colour in a million ways. I know I'll find it on my own.”
― Anne Fine, The Tulip Touch

“Жизнь прожить — это тяжкий труд. Но книги и истории не дают нам пропасть. Одни помогают жить. Другие дают передышку. Самые лучшие способны и на то, и на другое.”
― Anne Fine, Goggle-Eyes
