ISBN: 9780316316309.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Booker Prize-winning author of Prophet Song, a sweeping, Dickensian story of a young girl on a life-changing journey across nineteenth-century Ireland on the eve of the Great Famine.\n\nEarly one October morning, Graces mother snatches her from sleep and brutally cuts off her hair, declaring, \"You are the strong one now.\" With winter close at hand and Ireland already suffering, Grace is no longer safe at home. And so her mother outfits her in mens clothing and casts her out.\n\nWhen her younger brother Colly follows after her, the two set off on a remarkable odyssey in the looming shadow of their countrys darkest hour. The broken land they pass through reveals untold suffering as well as unexpected beauty. To survive, Grace must become a boy, a bandit, a penitent and, finally, a woman -- all the while afflicted by inner voices that arise out of what she has seen and what she has lost.\n\nTold in bold and lyrical language by an author who has already been called \"one of his generations very finest novelists\" (Ron Rash, author of The Risen), Grace is an epic coming-of-age novel and a poetic evocation of the Irish famine as it has never been written.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LITTLE, BROWN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945791615029,"sku":"ByrdShop_031631630X","price":27.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780316316309_8818ba3f-99b7-4b7f-90c6-73a82b0f068a.jpg?v=1778782810","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/grace-a-novel-9780316316309","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
