Bloomsbury presents Grand Expectaions by Celia Dodd, read by Nano Nagle

The wise guide to navigating family life as a grandparent

Grandparents are more important in families than ever before, with millions providing free childcare. But while the joys of being a grandparent are widely celebrated, the challenges and dilemmas are often overlooked. What should you do if you don’t agree with your daughter-in-law’s parenting? Is it possible to build a close relationship with grandchildren when you live far apart? And above all, how do you juggle your own ambitions with your family’s needs?

Celia Dodd speaks to grandmothers, grandfathers and adult children and draws on the latest research to help both generations negotiate what can at times be an emotional minefield. Grand Expectations shows how grandparents can harvest their wisdom and experience in nurturing these precious relationships.©2026 Celia Dodd (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
