A sentimental story of a girl whose best friend has just moved away, and her grandmother is dying. Roddy Doyle has a lovely gentle writing style and it is a joy to read.

This book captured the Irish culture perfectly. Roddy Doyle is one of the truly great writers of this generation.

Having enjoyed ‘The Giggler Treatment’ by Roddy Doyle, I was really looking forward to reading this book. It’s a story exploring the relationships between four generations of women in an Irish family. Mary is the youngest of them and her granny Emer is in hospital. I liked the way that some of the chapters went back to different characters’ memories of the past. The story was sometimes funny and sometimes sad.
I found this book intriguing because it had a ghost in it. I could imagine how Mary felt because my grannie was in hospital too as I was reading the last few chapters.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes reading stories about families and the past.
