Grace Notes
Bernard MacLaverty
Grace Notes was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Whitbread Prize. Grace Notes is a compact and altogether masterful portrait of a woman composer and the complex interplay between her life and her art. With superb artistry and startling intimacy, it brings us into the life of Catherine McKenna—estranged daughter, vexed lover, new mother, and musician making her mark in a male-dominated world.
