Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
Katherine Millar is eighteen and desperate to be less fat, less swotty and to have cooler friends. But most of all she wishes she had two parents, instead of one grandma, Poll. Poll is pushing seventy, half blind and utterly poisonous. She has looked after Katherine since she was a baby, when her father was killed in a car crash and her mother vanished. Poll's ambition is for things to stay exactly the same for ever, and for Katherine never to leave their pit village of Bank Top. Katherine has other ideas, and she can feel change is coming; the omens are all around her. In the meantime, she cleans up after Poll, revises for her exams, watches daytime television and surfs the net at the library trying to find out how to be bulimic. What she doesn't quite realize yet is that life won't always wait for you to catch up with it. Swallowing Grandma is a perceptive, vivid and painfully funny novel about the ties of love and loathing, and the ways in which our versions of the past can thwart our visions for the future. In Katherine and Poll, Kate Long has created two unforgettable characters locked in an epic battle over whose side of the story will prevail. 'Wise, warm and witty . . . Will keep you reading until the very last page' Red, Book of the Month. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GOR001909448

Zustand: Muy bueno. : Katherine Millar, de dieciocho años, anhela ser menos gorda, menos empollona y tener amigos más geniales. Pero, sobre todo, desea tener dos padres, en lugar de una abuela, Poll. Poll, que ronda los setenta, está medio ciega y es terriblemente venenosa. Ha cuidado de Katherine desde que era una bebé, cuando su padre murió en un accidente automovilístico y su madre desapareció. La ambición de Poll es que las cosas sigan exactamente igual para siempre, y que Katherine nunca abandone su pueblo minero de Bank Top. Katherine tiene otras ideas y siente que se avecinan cambios; los presagios están por todas partes. Mientras tanto, limpia tras Poll, repasa para sus exámenes, ve la televisión diurna y navega por Internet en la biblioteca intentando averiguar cómo ser bulímica. Lo que aún no se da cuenta es de que la vida no siempre espera a que te pongas al día. 'Swallowing Grandma' es una novela perspicaz, vívida y dolorosamente divertida sobre los lazos de amor y odio, y las formas en que nuestras versiones del pasado pueden frustrar nuestras visiones para el futuro. En Katherine y Poll, Kate Long ha creado dos personajes inolvidables encerrados en una batalla épica sobre qué lado de la historia prevalecerá.
