‘One of the best books I’ve read this year’ Jodi Picoult
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FATE. I KNEW IT WASN’T.
Honor’s life is nearly perfect: she adores her bright and beautiful daughter, Chloe, and her charming, handsome husband, Tom, even if he works one hundred hours a week. Yet Honor’s longing for another baby threatens to eclipse all that is wonderful – until a shocking event changes everything.
Years later, Tom makes a decision that ripples through their family’s life in ways he could never have predicted. As the consequences of his choice continue to unfold, two women’s paths become irrevocably intwined.
Blending a page-turning moral dilemma with a sweeping love story, Finding Grace explores the price of secrets and asks whether it’s ever too late to tell the truth.
‘The darkest beach read imaginable, with a protagonist that no reader could predict’ Plum Sykes, author of Wives Like Us
‘Shocking, stylish, elegant, and twisting. A truly stunning debut’ Chris Whitaker, NYT bestselling author of All the Colours of the Dark

Finding Grace feels like a movie, with characters and scenes that explode off the page and a propulsive plot that had me in a choke hold. I raced through this emotional story of love, grief, second chances, and moral ambiguity, laughing and weeping along the way.
Shocking, stylish, elegant, and twisting. A truly stunning debut.
Inventive, tender, heartbreaking, redemptive . . . Loretta Rothschild's debut novel has one of the best first-chapter cliff-hangers ever . . . and then it just keeps getting better.
Loretta Rothschilds' debut novel, seemingly effortlessly written, is the darkest beach read imaginable, with a protagonist that no reader could predict.
I can't remember the last time I read a book so wholly original that it also manages to feel like it's always existed. How is it not already a part of our zeitgeist, one of those watershed books people try to imitate for the next decade but never succeed in eclipsing? That enviable balance of blockbuster plot and literary elegance. Such a clever concept, such a whip smart voice, such perfectly rendered characters, all bound together by a theme as simple and utterly, relatably human as Finding Grace. An absolutely powerhouse debut that I will be thinking about for a good long while.
What an incredible debut! Finding Grace is a rare joy. Gripping and compelling, with characters you love and care about. Clever, smart and compassionate. A veritable powerhouse of a novel!
Finding Grace is elegant and propulsive, emotionally rich and psychologically astute. With an arresting narrative voice and layered, intimate storytelling, Loretta Rothschild's debut is a life-affirming exploration of the aftermath of tragedy, and love in all its forms.
