Why read it?
2 authors picked Fight Night as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Wonderful insight into human nature and I loved the eccentric characters. There are many heartwarming scenes but some hard reality as well. A great read!
Miriam Toews has an incredible writing style that is somehow whimsical and also serious, and this book is no exception.
I fell so in love with the characters in this book that I didn’t want the story to end. The novel follows young Swiv, a quirky and fierce kid who is dealing with a lot of very grown-up issues as she navigates an absent father, a feisty grandmother, and a single mother.
While this might sound like a Young Adult novel, it is very much a book for adults, which just shows how talented Toews is at using the voice…
From Kerri's list on fierce female protagonists.
