Summary:
Brought to you by Penguin.
The brand new novel from Salley Vickers, Sunday Times bestselling writer of The Librarian.
Grandmothers is the tale of three very different women and their romantic relationship with the younger era: fiercely separate Nan, who leads a secret life while an award-winning poet when she is not teaching her grandson Billy how exactly to lie; glamorous Blanche, deprived of the company of her beloved granddaughter Kitty by her hostile daughter-in-law, who discovers solace in rebellious on the subject of Grandmothers taking in and shoplifting; and shy, bookish Minna who in the protection of shepherd’s hut stocks with her surrogate granddaughter Rose her interest for reading. The perspective of most three ladies subtly alters when through their encounters with one another they discover that the past is usually always with us and that we go on learning and changing before very end.
Grandmothers is a beautifully observed, sometimes subversive, often sensitive and elegiac novel from the Weekend Times bestselling author of The Librarian.
