'My name is Oscar and I'm ten years old . . . They call me Egghead
and I look about seven. I live in hospital because of my cancer and
I've never written to you because I don't even know if you exist,'
writes Oscar in a letter to God. Oscar is ill and no one,
especially not his parents, will tell him what he already knows:
that he is dying. Granny Rose, the oldest of the 'ladies in pink'
who visit Oscar and his fellow patients, makes friends with him.
She suggests that he play a game: to pretend that each of the
following twelve days is a decade of his imagined future. One day
equals ten years, and every night Oscar writes a letter to God
telling him about his life. The ten letters that follow are
sensitive, funny, heartbreaking and, ultimately, uplifting. Oscar
and the Lady in Pink is a small fable with a big heart; it will
change the way you feel about death, and life.
