Welcome to Grandma Magic: stories told by and about grandmothe - grandmothers youthful and elderly, playful and strict, joyful, sorry and stern, exotic, ordinary. Stories filled with wonder and love and the mystery of bei - and havi - a grandmother.
Stories told by grandmothers themselves, by mothers who become grandmothers, and by the children and grandchildren who love them and share their love.
These twenty tales speak of unconditional affection, joy and laughter; of mistakes redeemed, of family secrets and patterns stamped on generations, shame and hardship, memory and loss. They take you into realms both familiar and unknown, on a voyage around many grandmothers that is rich, engaging and irresistible.
'There's that thing about immortality, the wondrous notion that every grandchild carries a bit of us in them and is shaped in ways they could never know by our pasts. But to me it's their mortality, not my immortality that matters. What matters is what I see before me now, and the changes I'm privileged to witness. How their stories evolve. - Sara Dowse
'I once read of a grandmother who'd fought with a crocodile until it released her granddaughter. Now I understood that fierce, protective and overwhelming love. - Gabrielle Lord
