Grandmothers is the story of three very different women and their relationship with the younger generation: fiercely independent Nan, who leads a secret life as an award-winning poet when she is not teaching her grandson, Billy, how to lie;
cosseted Blanche, deprived of the company of her beloved granddaughter, Kitty, by her hostile daughter-in-law, who for the first time in her life rebels by drinking and shoplifting; and shy, bookish Minna, who in the sanctuary of her shepherds hut, shares with her surrogate granddaughter, Rose, her passion for reading.
