Zoe's Reviews > The Grandmother

3.5 rounded up.
Nine year old Daisy and her seven year old sister Alice have been sent to live with their grandmother after the murder of their mother. Having never met their grandmother before it is a big change for everyone. Meanwhile Vince, their father is in the midst of a difficult relationship, an unsuccessful life and desperately wanting custody of his daughters.

This is an easy read which I read and enjoyed on a Sunday afternoon. Yvonne, the grandmother and Daisy had interesting characters. The chapters are told to us from the points of view of Yvonne and Vince and it makes for a good read. I didn’t see where it was going, and the chapters were short which I prefer.

Many thanks to NetGalley, publisher and author for my gifted eARC.
