Grace Notes
Bernard MacLaverty
Vintage
ISBN 0-09-977801-7
Grace Notes was shortlisted for the 1997 Booker Prize. It tells the story of a young female Irish composer and how her relationships with her parents, her lover and her baby daughter affect her career. It takes place in Glasgow, Northern Ireland and on Islay.
The comments about Islay school pupils are likely to ruffle a few feathers and details about music are somewhat alien to a total non-musician.
However, it is a moving story about the difficulties faced by creative people
and I enjoyed the book enough to know that I will definitely read it again.
