triumph over heartache filled both our reviewers with joy' Stylist
'Full of hope and charm' Libby Page, author of The Lido 'A hymn to
friendship, to getting back up and finding happiness where none
seemed possible' Katie Fforde 'An indulgently emotional and
beautifully written story about new starts' Daily Mail The Truths
and Triumphs of Grace Atherton is the story of a woman who has her
heart broken, but then puts it back together again in the most
uplifting and exquisite way. Between the simple melody of running
her violin shop and the full-blown orchestra of her romantic
interludes in Paris with David, her devoted partner of eight years,
Grace Atherton has always set her life to music. Her world revolves
entirely around David, for Grace's own secrets have kept everyone
else at bay. Until, suddenly and shockingly, one act tips Grace's
life upside down, and the music seems to stop. It takes a vivacious
old man and a straight-talking teenager to kickstart a new chapter
for Grace. In the process, she learns that she is not as alone in
the world as she had once thought, that no mistake is
insurmountable, and that the quiet moments in life can be something
to shout about ... 'Brilliantly and movingly written' Dorothy

heartbreak but still an uplifting tale of friendship and rebirth.

book is astute, compelling and extremely readable. Five stars'
