Oscar and the Lady in Pink is a novel of Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, the third chapter of « Cycle de l'Invisible », published in 2002.
These are the letters of a boy of ten addressed to God. They are found by 'Mamie Rose'(who was previously a wrestler), 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.
In 2009, the author finished a film based on the novel with Michèle Laroque in the role of Mamie Rose.
