Catherine McKenna - a young composer - remembers exactly why she left: the claustrophobic intimacies of the Catholic enclave, her fastidious, nagging mother, and the pervading tensions of a city at war with itself.

This is a novel, about coming to terms with the past and the healing power of music, "Grace Notes" is a master story-teller"s triumphant return to the long form: a powerful lyrical novel of great distinction.
