FROM THE WRITER OF THE OSCAR-WININNG WOMEN TALKING INTERNATIONAL
BESTSELLING AUTHOR LONGLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 'Go
Grandma Elvira!' Margaret Atwood 'Wickedly funny and fearlessly
honest.' The New Yorker 'Glorious.' Sarah Moss ____________ You are
a small thing, and you must learn to fight. Swiv has taken this
advice too literally. Now she's suspended from school, in the care
of her foul-mouthed, hilarious grandmother. Mom is busy being
pregnant, so Grandma gives Swiv a very different education. Swiv
learns maths with Amish jigsaws and How to Dig a Winter Grave.
Grandma's methods may be unorthodox, but she has faced the worst of
life with a wild, independent spirit and this is what she hopes to
pass on. Time is running short. Grandma's health is failing and the
baby is on the way - can Grandma inspire this fire in Swiv, and
ensure it never goes out? Poignant, hilarious and deeply moving,
Fight Night is a girl's love letter to the women raising her and a
tribute to one family's fighting spirit. 'A love letter to our
brave and brilliant matriarchs.' Glamour 'Miriam Toews is a
genius.' R. O. Kwon 'As compelling and hilarious and indecently sad
as life can be.' Financial Times
