Description

An epic coming-of-age novel and a poetic evocation of the Irish famine as it has never been told before

Early one October morning, Grace 's mother snatches her from sleep and brutally cuts off her hair, declaring, You are the strong one now. ' With winter close at hand and Ireland already suffering, Grace is no longer safe at home. And so her mother outfits Grace in men 's clothing and casts her out. When her younger brother Colly follows after her, the two set off on a life-changing odyssey in the looming shadow of the Great Famine. To survive, Grace will become a boy, a bandit, a penitent and finally, a woman. A meditation on love, life and destiny, Grace is an epic coming-of-age novel, and a poetic evocation of the Irish famine as it has never been written.

‘A literary beauty… It is the saddest, heaviest, most beautiful, lyrical [novel], one of the most stunning books I’ve read in recent times. I would urge you to read it.’ – Ryan Tubridy
