The State of Grace by Catherine Donnelly

During the course of just a few weeks 46 year old Grace is fired from her job as a TV producer in an advertising agency, loses her house, falls off the wagon and watches her mother die.

She also learns how to smoke cigarettes, hotwire a car and that riding pillion on a motorbike at 150kph is a lot more exhilarating than HRT.

She finds friendship with an Amazonian Russian, has sex for the first time in ten years with a younger man, gets to know her children as people, starts a new career and rediscovers her sense of humour.

In short, she finds her state of grace.

‘Funny, moving and wise – I loved this wonderful book.’ Pauline McLynn

‘Beneath its frothy cappuccino exterior, there beats a heart of gold, and a story told with increasing joie-de-vivre.‘ – Nuala O’Faolain

‘This is a great fun read.’ Customer review
