{"product_id":"grace-is-gone-by-kelly-ana-morey-801q","title":"Grace Is Gone by Kelly Ana Morey","description":"\u003cp\u003eBilly Flower lives in the small mainly Maori town of Meridian. The fact he is irresistible to women is borne out by his twelve daughters, known about town as the Flower girls, all to different mothers. Grace is Gone centres on Billy's daughter Cherry, who has returned from overseas to Meridian after the break-up of her marriage to Bax, a British photojournalist. He'll be following her home soon, but for the moment Cherry has returned alone to lose herself in the loving world of her family. Then there's her old childhood friend Grace; she died some years ago, but that doesn't stop her putting in regular appearances throughout the novel. Grace is Gone, with its sprawling cast of characters, explores the relationships of an extended family of Maori women. Spot-on dialogue and lyrical description combine to create a novel that is richly subversive and funny as hell. This second novel by Kelly Ana Morey confirms the great promise shown with Bloom, which won the Hubert Church best first book award at the 2004 Montana Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41811031490634,"sku":"801q","price":11.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/801q.jpg?v=1764187055","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/grace-is-gone-by-kelly-ana-morey-801q","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
