A new novel from the top ten Sunday Times bestselling author of The Librarian, about three very different grandmothers

Grandmothers follows four grandmothers - Blanche, who can't seem to stop stealing things from the local pharmacy; Minna, who just wants a quiet life in her shepherd's hut, though the local children have other ideas; and Nan, whose favourite occupation is researching funerals - whose lives and grandchildren become unexpectedly entangled.
