The outlook of all three women subtly alters when through their encounters with each other they discover that the past is always with us and that we go on learning and changing until the very end.Grandmothers is a beautifully observed, sometimes subversive, often tender and elegiac novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Librarian.`A fond portrait of what it is to love a child, both yours and not… a tonic for the overlooked modern grandmother` Sunday Times`Vickers sees with a clear eye and writes with a light hand. She`s a presence worth cherishing in the ranks of modern novelists` Philip Pullman
