Fight Night by Miriam Toews is a love letter to mothers and daughters, and grandmothers and granddaughters. Told from the perspective of nine-year-old Swiv, whoâs having to deal with the imminent upheavals of the birth of a sibling and the declining health of her beloved grandma. With Swivâs opening words â âDear Dad, How are you? I was expelled.â â readers are drawn into the chaotic, ramshackle but love-and-life-filled world of this family. A world in which the only way through is to fight.
