Granny Was a Buffer Girl

by Berlie Doherty

________________________________________

At a family get-together on the brink of a year’s adventure in France, 18 year-old Jess hears her family’s secrets: she listens to the story of her grandparents Bridie and Jack, whose love kept them together in spite of family divisions; of her other granny Dorothy’s daily toil from the dirt and grime of the buffing wheel; and of her parents’ first meeting. And, of course, there’s Jess’s own story too.

A compelling and beautifully written story of three generations of a Sheffield family, Granny was a Buffer Girl won the Carnegie Medal in 1986.
