AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Grace has not had twelve people at her table for a long time. Hers isn't the kind of family who share regular Sunday meals. But it isn't every day you turn seventy.

'As Grace prepares the feast, she reflects on her life, her marriage and her friendships. When the three generations come together, simmering tensions from the past threaten to boil over. The one thing that no one can talk about is the one thing that no one can forget.

'Grace's Table is a moving and often funny novel about the power of memory and the family rituals that define us.' (Publisher's blurb)
