Amazing Grace Adams

- Reviews -

I just adored this beautiful debut novel! Funny, moving and at times absolutely heart-breaking, it had me captivated until the very last page. An unforgettable read -- Liane Moriarty Amazing Grace Adams is an exacting and brilliantly structured novel about love, grief, hope lost and then found again. I rooted for Grace from the first sentence -- Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes Fran Littlewood has written a magnificent novel. Grace Adams is everywoman-filled with promise, trepidatious in love and eventually, a besotted mother. Amazing Grace Adams is a fully realized story of catastrophe and joy, grief and love, and the hidden chambers of the human heart that carry the best and worst of our experience. A stunning debut -- Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Left Undone From the first hot minute when Grace Adams, stalled in traffic, stuck in her car, simply opens the door and walks away from it all-into her day, the single day that gathers all her days up to this tipping point at the middle, she had me. How Life in the middle of our lives breaks us open-and apart-and then open again. I finished her story on a plane above the country, so full, and in tears. "Ma' am? " my seat-mate asked, "are you ok? " "Oh, yes," I answered. And gave him this book' -- Sarah Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Postmistress and The Guest Book I can' t remember the last time I read a novel with such unbridled enthusiasm. Amazing Grace Adams is a raw, uproariously hilarious portrait of parenthood, love, and family; it' s also a profound examination of the way language can both save us and fail us when we need it the most. I' d walk across London on the hottest day of the year with Fran Littlewood-hell, I' d walk anywhere with her. I' m begging you: read this book -- Grant Ginder, author of The People We Hate at the Wedding I loved it. Vivid, visceral and incredibly emotional. I laughed and sobbed -- Tim Minchin, multi-award-winning composer/lyricist of Matilda The Musical, comedian, actor, producer and director I laughed, I cried ugly tears, I rooted for Grace Adams. It broke my heart then reassembled it - as only a fabulous novel can -- Emily Koch, author of Keep Him Close An incredible debut. Grace Adams is fighting back and her story is both powerful and heartbreaking. I recommend. -- Julie Owen Moylan, author of That Green Eyed Girl
