Fight Night - Miriam Toews

A young girl named Swiv is suspended from school and told to write a letter every day explaining what she learns. Instead, she begins documenting life with her fiercely funny grandmother Elvira while they wait for the arrival of her mother’s baby.

What follows is a family chronicle honing in on the ways we keep each other afloat. Miriam Toews writes with her signature mix of heartbreak and mischief, where grief and laughter exist side by side.

Told through Swiv’s voice; sharp, curious and unexpectedly wise…Fight Night explores resilience, motherhood, mental health and the strange tenderness of imperfect families. It is warm, strange, and quietly devastating in the way only Toews can manage.

For readers who like their stories intimate, funny, and full of feeling.
