Publisher's Note Grace, a young Dubliner, faces the complexities and absurdities of Irish family life and religion in this funny, touching novel set in Ireland. By the author of What Are You Like? Original.
Industry Reviews "[An] unusual tale notable for both its lovely language and its mere suggestion of a plot....Enright's...language is wry and fluid, but the story itself is a shadowy thing: too much light, and it will disappear altogether. Not for all tastes, then, but those with a penchant for the delicate and subtle will relish it." Kirkus Reviews (08/01/2001)
"Love, motherhood, Roman Catholicism; cynicism and redemption; sex and grace: these are the themes around which the Irish writer Anne Enright has constructed this clever, unsettling and thoroughly modern novel....[A] sharp, sad comedy...." New York Times Book Review - Tom Gilling (11/18/2001)
