Grace Notes

Bernard MacLaverty

Returning to Belfast after a long absense, to attend her father"s funeral. Catherine McKenna-a young composer-remembers exactly why she left- the claustrophobic intimacies of the Catholic enclave, her fastidious, nagging mother, and the pervading tensions of a city at war with itself. She remembers a more innocent time, when the Loyalists Lambeg drums sounded mysterious and exciting; she remembers her shattered relationship with the drunken, violent Dave, she remembers the child she had with him, waiting back in Glasgow. This is a novel, about coming to terms with the past and the healing power of music, GRACE NOTES is a master story-teller"s triumphant return to the long form- a powerful lyrical novel of great distinction.
