The best-ever children’s novel from the brilliant Roddy Doyle is a funny, sad
story about four generations of a family. Twelve-year-old Mary’s beloved
grandmother is near the end of her life. Letting go is hard—until Granny’s longdead
mammy appears at Mary’s door, returning to help her dying daughter say
goodbye. But fi rst she needs someone to drive them all on a visit to the past.
A Greyhound of a Girl is a perfectly pitched, sharp and tender tale of family
history, cracking characters, and bonds between mothers and daughters that
will entrance readers from 10 to adult.
