“Fight Night” by Miriam Toews

This book is from the point of view of a 9 year old girl, who takes amazingly good care of her ill but very much alive grandmother. At first I found it to be disjointed and slightly confusing, but I swiftly adapted to the girl’s voice. The book ended beautifully. After visiting family in California and returning to Canada, the grandmother had a heart attack, and then her daughter went into labour in the same hospital. Grandmother died right after seeing her new grandchild.
