A twisty, gripping novel that wraps around a deeply moving love story, from an electric new voice in upmarket women’s fiction.
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FATE. I KNEW IT WASN'T....
Honor seems to have everything: she adores her bright and beautiful daughter, Chloe, and her charming, handsome husband, Tom, even if he works one hundred hours a week. Yet Honor’s longing for another baby threatens to eclipse all of it―until a shocking event changes their lives forever.
Years later, Tom makes a decision that ripples through their families' lives in ways he could never have foreseen. As the consequences of that fateful choice unfold, two women's paths become irrevocably intertwined. But when old love clashes with new, who will be left standing? And what happens when your secrets come back to haunt you?
Blending a page-turning moral dilemma with satisfying emotional poignancy, Finding Grace is a sweeping love story that explores the price of a new beginning, how the ghosts of our past shape our future, and whether redemption can be found in the wreckage of what we've lost.
Praise
"Loretta Rothschild’s debut novel has one of the best first chapter cliffhangers ever…and then it just keeps getting better. It’s inventive, tender, heartbreaking, redemptive―and it’s one of the best books I’ve read this year."
―Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Shocking, stylish, elegant and twisting. Finding Grace is a truly stunning debut."
―Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark
"I can't remember the last time I read a book so wholly original that it also manages to feel like it's always existed. How is it not already a part of our zeitgeist, one of those watershed books people try to imitate for the next decade but never succeed in eclipsing? That enviable balance of blockbuster plot and literary elegance. Such a clever concept, such a whip smart voice, such perfectly rendered characters, all bound together by a theme as simple and utterly, relatably human as Finding Grace. An absolutely powerhouse debut that I will be thinking about for a good long while."
―Julia Whelan, bestselling author of My Oxford Year and Thank You for Listening
"Finding Grace feels like a movie, with characters and scenes that explode off the page and a propulsive plot that had me in a chokehold. I raced through this emotional story of love, grief, second chances, and moral ambiguity, laughing and weeping along the way."
