Commentary Conducive To Books Swallowing Grandma

Orphan Kat Millar seems doomed to waste her best years caring for her horribly ungrateful grandmother, Poll. But relatives Kat knows nothing about are moving in, intent on changing her life forever. I wrote Swallowing Grandma because I was again interested in the dynamic between a carer and the person receiving that care. The relationship between Kat and her troublesome charge is one of constant small power shifts; each woman believes she is the one in control, and the struggle for supremacy continues right up to the end of the novel.

Rate Of Books Swallowing Grandma

It was such an amazing book.It described the life of a young adult who tries to get through life under the pressure of her grandma.Also,it's really funny and it deserves a read!

I enjoyed this and was able to relate to Katherine's character right from the start (not that I ever lived with a poisonous grandma or anything!). This was the first Kate Long book I've read and I would now like to read her other book.

Mainly told from Katherine's view, with excerpts from the mother she never knew, this is a perceptive, funny & sometimes slightly sad tale about the obligations & duties that are part of family life. Katherine both loves & loathes her Grandma Poll (who can be a difficult character to say the least!) But she's all the family she has...or is she?This book that kept me hooked to the end, wondering whether Katherine would find the strength to break away from Poll or would family ties

I enjoyed this book. Although by the middle I had grown weary of yet another "misery lit" story, of a poor, grim, abused upbringing, it got better by the end. It's an interesting study of family relationships, and the consequences of actions and choices. My favourite sentence, describing my old university: "Everyone's a bit weird in Oxford, so I don't stand out." Classic.

I took this book for reading right after The bad mothers handbook by the same author. Since TBMH was interesting, I was very eager to read the book. After going through the initial chapters, it was very evident that the book was going to be a bore. True to expectations, it was a very slow story. Crust of the story is very thin. There is nothing much for the readers to devour apart from the twist at the end of the story.After all these years of reading, I strongly believe that if the readers

To be fair, like many things in life, humour is very much a personal thing and what makes one person laugh out loud will leave another wondering what the joke is.Sad to say that I found myself firmly in the latter category in that I just didn't get much of the humour of the novel.A story not just of (largely dysfunctional) relationships, Swallowing Grandma also deals with issues such as disability, teenage pregnancy, child abandonment, body image, bullying and bulimia. Hardly laugh out loud

This was a random pickup from the library, on a rare occasion when I actually went there physically instead of having my husband pick up or return books on my behalf!I was impressed by the Sarah Bird endorsement on the back of the book. It took a few pages to get captured by the book, but once I settled in I really enjoyed it.It is a very BRITISH book...more so than so-called "chick lit," which is often written halfway for American readers. I've been married to a Brit for 18 years now (and have
