Opis
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 LoyalistsLambeg drums
sounded mysterious and exciting; she remembers her shattered relationship
with the drunken,violent Dave,she remembers thechild 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.
