Description
Swallowing Grandma by Kate Long is a poignant and humorous novel about the complex relationship between two women, locked in an epic battle over their shared past. Katherine Millar feels trapped in her life with her grandmother Poll, who has been her sole caregiver since her father's death and her mother's disappearance. As Katherine navigates adolescence, she struggles to break free from the familiar routine of their small village and forge a path of her own. Poll's stubborn determination to maintain the status quo is at odds with Katherine's desire for change, leading to a series of tense confrontations that reveal the deep-seated emotions and loyalties that bind them together. With its vivid characters and perceptive exploration of family ties, Swallowing Grandma is a thought-provoking and engaging read. Wise, warm and witty, this novel will keep you reading until the very last page, as Katherine and Poll's story unfolds in a way that is both heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting.
