Overview
A Greyhound of a Girl by Roddy Doyle is a touching story about love, family, and the power of memories. This book is a celebration of life, legacy, and the unbreakable ties that bind us to those we cherish.
Named a Best Book of the 21st Century (So Far) by Kirkus
This heartwarming and poignant tale spans four generations of women in an Irish family. Twelve-year-old Mary O'Hara is a spirited Dublin schoolgirl who is bravely facing the impending loss of her beloved Granny. As Granny clings to life, a mysterious young woman appears with a message that pulls Mary into an extraordinary adventure.
This beautiful book, with its blend of humor and sorrow, explores the deep connections between mothers and daughters. As Mary, her mother Scarlett, her grandmother Emer, and her great-grandmother Tansey embark on a journey through memories and time, they discover the enduring bonds that unite them.
Praise for A Greyhound of a Girl
“A warm, witty, exquisitely nuanced multigenerational story.”
–Kirkus, starred review
“This elegantly constructed yet beautifully simple story, set in Ireland and spun with affection by Booker Prize–winner Doyle, will be something different for YA readers. These four lilting voices will linger long after the book is closed.”
–Booklist, starred review
"Written mostly in dialogue, at which Doyle excels, and populated with a charming foursome of Irish women, this lovely tale is as much about overcoming the fear of death as it is about death itself."
–Publishers Weekly, starred review
