520    A sweeping, Dickensian story of a young girl on a life-
       changing journey across nineteenth-century Ireland on the 
       eve of the Great Famine Early one October morning, Grace's
       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 
       men's clothing and casts her out. When her younger brother
       Colly follows after her, the two set off on a remarkable 
       odyssey in the looming shadow of their country's 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. Told in 
       bold and lyrical language by an author who has already 
       been called "one of his generation's 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
