Description

"But for the Grace is that unfashionable thing, a novel with something to say. This highly readable work of fiction is, at the same time, an exploration of our society's response to battered women. It's a complex, compassionate, political and personal story that, in some way, affects us all. It deserves to be widely read and deeply pondered." Sue McCauley A group of women living in violent relationships meets each week in a community house. Their advocates - feisty, radical feminists, Leah Gunn and her partner Kelly, have developed a liberating practice, from their own lived experience, which helps women to evaluate their lives and make decisions...A story told in a group session acts as the catalyst for transformation and tragedy. Thus unfolds tales of abuse, betrayals, violence and compassion that make compelling reading. This story is as relevant today as it was in the 1990s, the setting for the book.
