Synopsis

In this acclaimed novel from a Booker Prize–winning author, 12-year-old Irish schoolgirl Mary O’Hara is having difficulty coming to grips with the impending death of her beloved Granny. It is when Mary is at her lowest point—racked with fear and sadness at the thought of losing one of the people for whom she cares most in the world—that a mysterious young girl shows up at her door. It’s none other than Tansey, the ghost of Granny’s mother. She has arrived to usher Granny out of this world, but first she invites Mary, Mary’s mother Scarlett, and Granny on a trip to the past. This moving, humorous story vividly portrays the bond between mothers and daughters, the pain of losing a loved one, and the joy of life.

En esta aclamada novela de un ganador del Premio Booker, Mary O’Hara, una muchacha irlandés de 12 años, está teniendo dificultad aceptando la muerte inminente de su querida abuelita. Es cuando Mary se encuentra en su punto más bajo—carcomida por el temor y la tristeza de perder a una de las personas que más quiere en el mundo—que una misteriosa joven aparece en su puerta. Es Tansey, el espíritu de la madre de su abuela. Ha venido para llevarse a la abuela de Mary de este mundo, pero primero invita a Mary, a Scarlett, la mamá de Mary, y a la abuela a emprender un viaje al pasado. Esta entrañable y divertida historia vívidamente retrata el vínculo entra las madres e hijas, el dolor de perder a un ser querido y el gozo de la vida.

Review

"This is really top class writing for the whole family."  —Telegraph, on the English-language edition "I would recommend this masterful family drama with a ghostly twist to any reader aged 10 or over. And to parents. It may be short, but it packs a lasting punch."  —Independent, on the English-language edition "Doyle, a champion of women, a great respecter of children’s intelligence and a staunch supporter of literacy programmes, affirms in this powerful tale that, sisters, there is a sisterhood."  —Irish Times, on the English-language edition
