´I doubt I´ll read a better novel.´ Big Issue. ´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 her grandmother´s advice too literally. Now she´s at home, suspended from school. Mom is pregnant and preoccupied - and so Swiv is in the older woman´s charge, receiving a very different form of education from a teacher with a style all her own. Grandma likes her stories fast, troublesome and funny. She´s known the very worst that life can throw at you - and has met it every time with a wild, unnamable spirit, fighting for joy and independence every step of the way. But will maths lessons based on Amish jigsaws and classes on How to Dig a Winter Grave inspire the same fire in Swiv, and ensure it never goes out? Time is running short. Grandma´s health is failing, the baby is on the way, as a family of three extraordinary women prepare to face life´s great changes together. Poignant, hilarious and deeply moving, Fight Night is a girl´s love letter to the women raising her and a tribute to one family´s fighting spirit...Altres llibres de Miriam Toews
