Grace after Henry

Shortall, Eithne
Genre: 
Grace After Henry is a funny heartfelt debut novel about one woman learning what it means to move on and to let go. When her fiancé Henry Walsh is killed in a freak biking accident Grace feels like she's lost her own shadow. For five years they'd been inseparable: five years of the most rollicking soul-finding love Grace thought any two people could share. In his absence Grace picks up the pieces of her life: She moves into the dream house they bought together she returns to work as a chef she watches TV with her nosy elderly neighbor but through it all she's ever aware of the Henry-shaped hole in her life. Until his long-lost twin brother knocks on her door. Andy is Henry and yet he's not quite. Newly arrived in Dublin on his own search for answers he makes Grace's loss feel both greater and smaller. Soon Grace isn't sure if she's learning to let go or becoming desperate to hold on. Filled with a warm and zany cast of characters all searching for a sense of home Grace After Henry is a funny tender and bittersweet story about love loss and second chances.
