From her upbringing in a strict religious community, she has fought those who wanted to take away her joy, her independence, and her spirit. She has fought to make peace with her loved ones when they have chosen to leave her. And now, even as her health fails, Grandma is fighting for her family: for her daughter, partnerless and in the third term of a pregnancy; and for her granddaughter Swiv, a spirited nine-year-old who has been suspended from school. Cramped together in their Toronto home, on the precipice of extraordinary change, Grandma and Swiv undertake a vital new project, setting out to explain their lives in letters they will never send. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlternating between the exuberant, precocious voice of young Swiv and her irrepressible, tenacious Grandma, \u003ci\u003eFight Night\u003c\/i\u003e is a love letter to mothers and grandmothers, and to all the women who are still fighting-painfully, ferociously- for a way to live on their own terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635579789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272","brand":"Miriam Toews","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42547812106421,"sku":"9781635579789","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_625d9aee-2fc2-4c73-8748-b6034f470f77.jpg?v=1670337578","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/fight-night-9781635579789","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
