FIGHT NIGHT

FROM THE WRITER OF THE OSCAR-WININNG WOMEN TALKING INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR LONGLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD Go Grandma Elvira! Margaret Atwood Wickedly funny and fearlessly honest. The New Yorker Glorious. Sarah Moss ____________ You are a small thing, and you must learn to fight. Swiv has taken this advice too literally. Now shes suspended from school, in the care of her foul-mouthed, hilarious grandmother. Mom is busy being pregnant, so Grandma gives Swiv a very different education. Swiv learns maths with Amish jigsaws and How to Dig a Winter Grave. Grandmas methods may be unorthodox, but she has faced the worst of life with a wild, independent spirit and this is what she hopes to pass on. Time is running short. Grandmas health is failing and the baby is on the way - can Grandma inspire this fire in Swiv, and ensure it never goes out? Poignant, hilarious and deeply moving, Fight Night is a girls love letter to the women raising her and a tribute to one familys fighting spirit. A love letter to our brave and brilliant matriarchs. Glamour Miriam Toews is a genius. R. O. Kwon As compelling and hilarious and indecently sad as life can be. Financial Times
