Oscar et la dame Rose

These are the letters of a boy of ten addressed to God. They are found by ‘Mamie Rose’, the Lady in Pink of the title, who visits him in hospital in the pink uniform worn by nurses on the children’s ward. The letters describe twelve days in the life of Oscar and are filled with funny, moving characters. These twelve days may be his last, but thanks to Mamie Rose, who forms a close and affectionate bond with Oscar, they are to become legendary.
