Grace and Mary by Melvyn Bragg

5.0

Absolutely loved this book- which I wouldn't have chosen to read were it not for book group! Heartachingly sad, as John sees his mother descend into dementia. But the even greater sadness and loss is of unknown mothers and past histories, interwoven into the present. Beautifully written, characters were ordinary yet real, sympathetically drawn, and I found myself thinking about then long after finishing it. A real little gem!
