À propos de cet audio

The beloved author of bestsellers Women Talking, All My Puny Sorrows, and A Complicated Kindness returns with a funny, smart, headlong rush of a novel full of wit, flawless writing, and a tribute to perseverance and love in an unusual family.

Fight Night is told in the unforgettable voice of Swiv, a nine-year-old living in Toronto with her pregnant mother, who is raising Swiv while caring for her own elderly, frail, yet extraordinarily lively mother. When Swiv is expelled from school, Grandma takes on the role of teacher and gives her the task of writing to Swiv's absent father about life in the household during the last trimester of the pregnancy. In turn, Swiv gives Grandma an assignment: to write a letter to "Gord," her unborn grandchild (and Swiv's soon-to-be brother or sister). "You’re a small thing," Grandma writes to Gord, "and you must learn to fight."

As Swiv records her thoughts and observations, Fight Night unspools the pain, love, laughter, and above all, will to live a good life across three generations of women in a close-knit family. But it is Swiv’s exasperating, wise and irrepressible Grandma who is at the heart of this novel: someone who knows intimately what it costs to survive in this world, yet has found a way—painfully, joyously, ferociously—to love and fight to the end, on her own terms.

This is one of those books that you can’t put down but you don’t want to ever end. I loved the characters, the quirky humour, the setting - well, everything! I’m so glad that I listened to the audible version with the author and her relative reading! I feel I know Swiv and her family and that Mariam Toews somehow knows mine!
Loved it!

Excellent

Love this author and this book. Just a wonderfully written account of family and relationships between mothers and daughters and granddaughters. I found it easy to connect with emotionally as it reminded me of myself and my own connection to my grandmother.

A beautiful story

Heartfelt and genuine. I love the perspective of the 10 year Swiv. I really enjoyed listening to it in the office voice in her daughters voice too. I did wonder how much it was from their actual lives?

Good story

The narration was brilliant - one of the best books I’ve listened to. I didn’t want this book to end. So many life lessons; wishing I had this “Grandma” in my life. So wonderful to revisit a teenager’s thoughts and feelings. Brilliant!!
