Go Grandma Elvira!' - MARGARET ATWOOD  You are a small thing, and you must learn to fight.  Swiv has taken her grandmother's advice too literally. Now she's at home, suspended from school. Mom is pregnant and preoccupied - and so Swiv is in the older woman's charge, receiving a very different form of education from a teacher with a style all her own.  Grandma likes her stories fast, troublesome and funny. She's known the very worst that life can throw at you - and has met it every time with a wild, unnamable spirit, fighting for joy and independence every step of the way. But will maths lessons based on Amish jigsaws and classes on How to Dig a Winter Grave inspire the same fire in Swiv, and ensure it never goes out?  Time is running short. Grandma's health is failing, the baby is on the way, as a family of three extraordinary women prepare to face life's great changes together.  'Fight Night is glorious: funny and sad and beautifully written.' - SARAH MOSS","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48950393864346,"sku":"9780571370719","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1625\/7690\/files\/9780571370719-us-300.jpg?v=1785816388","url":"https:\/\/castlebooks.com.au\/products\/9780571370719-fight-night-a-gem-humour-and-hope-in-the-face-of-suffering-observer","provider":"Castlebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
