Returning to Belfast after a long absense, to attend her father`s
funeral. 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. She remembers a more innocent time, when the Loyalists
Lambeg drums sounded mysterious and exciting; she remembers her
shattered relationship with the drunken, violent Dave, she remembers the
child she had with him, waiting back in Glasgow.
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.
