A Greyhound of a Girl – Roddie Doyle
This is a charming story, easy to read, telling of Mary O’Hara and four generations of the women in her family. I loved the Irish lilt in the voice of the narrator. It’s a very emotional book, telling of Mary’s Great-Grandmother Tansey who returns as a ghost when her own daughter Emer, now a Grandma is dying. Tansey died when her daughter was only three, but through Mary, the pair are reunited and go on a journey to the farm where they used to live, sharing bits of family history along the way. The relationships between mothers and sughters reallyy came alive for me and it was a very enjoyable read.
