Description
A rich and compelling story.
Nicholas Shakespeare, author of The Dancer Upstairs
Six-year-old Grace is found unconscious on a rural railway track and is rescued by Kitty, who raises her as her own. Grace learns to live with the blank spaces in her memory - and the ache of not knowing who she truly is.
But when a letter arrives and is hidden in a bureau, it stirs long-buried echoes of something lost - her previous life. Through the devastation of London during World War Two, Grace begins to piece together the mystery of her own beginnings, and she is drawn into a journey that will test everything she thinks she knows.
She falls in love with Nancy, whose presence draws her forward. Their affair is complicated by a love triangle with the mysterious Leyland, who has his own dangerous secrets.
Grace is a deeply moving novel about the stories we carry, the ones we invent to survive, and the fragile beauty of finally finding where we come from and who we are.
An affecting, beautiful, evocative tale written with tremendous feeling and respect for the female characters. Gillian Johnson
