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.
