Året er 1997. Tony Blair kommer til magten i England. Prinsesse Diana dør. Og Charlotte bliver gravid. Det sidste påvirker både Charlotte, hendes mor og mormor. De tre kvinder lever tæt sammen i en lille, engelsk soveby, og bølgerne kan godt gå højt, når de diskuterer manglen på mand og uddannelse. Charlottes mor har svært ved at acceptere, at hun skal være bedstemor som treogtrediveårig, Charlottes mormor får sværere og sværere ved at huske, hvor hun er, og Charlotte selv har nok at gøre med at formilde sin mor og holde styr på sin mormor, mens graviditeten bliver mere og mere tydelig.Kate Long (f. 1964) er en engelsk forfatter.

Katherine Millar is eighteen and desperate to be less fat, less swotty and to have cooler friends. But most of all she wishes she had two parents, instead of one grandma, Poll. Poll is pushing seventy, half blind and utterly poisonous. She has looked after Katherine since she was a baby, when her father was killed in a car crash and her mother vanished. Poll's ambition is for things to stay exactly the same for ever, and for Katherine never to leave their pit village of Bank Top. Katherine has other ideas, and she can feel change is coming; the omens are all around her. In the meantime, she cleans up after Poll, revises for her exams, watches daytime television and surfs the net at the library trying to find out how to be bulimic. What she doesn't quite realize yet is that life won't always wait for you to catch up with it. Swallowing Grandma is a perceptive, vivid and painfully funny novel about the ties of love and loathing, and the ways in which our versions of the past can thwart our visions for the future. In Katherine and Poll, Kate Long has created two unforgettable characters locked in an epic battle over whose side of the story will prevail. 'Wise, warm and witty . . .

Ally has everything she ever wanted: a husband, a child, a lovely house in a pretty neighbourhood. Her glamorous, dynamic next-door neighbour, Juno, is also her best friend. But Juno has made a surprising decision; she has signed up for Queen Mum, a reality-TV show. For two weeks, she will live with another family in another town, while her opposite number will be moving in next door to Ally. Juno is excited about the prospect of seeing life from a different perspective. Ally is nervous. She doesn't like change, and knows from bitter experience how something precious can be lost in a moment. Kate Long's novel, written with her customary wit, empathy and incisiveness, is about friendship and love, recklessness and caution and about how the camera, while it sometimes lies, can also reveal uncomfortable truths. 'Delicious' Red 'This is the perfect summer novel - easy to read, but perceptive about the twists of fate that can change our lives' Glamour 'Long is as compulsively readable as ever' Time Out
