Synopsis:
'My name is Oscar and I'm ten years old . . . They call me Egghead and I look about seven. I live in hospital because of my cancer and I've never written to you because I don't even know if you exist,' writes Oscar in a letter to God.
Oscar is ill and no one, especially not his parents, will tell him what he already knows: that he is dying. Granny Rose, the oldest of the 'ladies in pink' who visit Oscar and his fellow patients, makes friends with him. She suggests that he play a game: to pretend that each of the following twelve days is a decade of his imagined future. One day equals ten years, and every night Oscar writes a letter to God telling him about his life.
The ten letters that follow are sensitive, funny, heartbreaking and, ultimately, uplifting. Oscar and the Lady in Pink is a small fable with a big heart; it will change the way you feel about death, and life.
Review:
Funny, heartbreaking and uplifting... Not so much a literary set-piece as a masterpiece of grief and redemption. -- Fiona Ness, Sunday Business Post
The brilliance of the fable lies in its simplicity. It will make you smile, and you'll probably cry, but you certainly won't forget this little book. -- Choice Magazine
