Description
A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2023: BIOGRAPHY
This Ragged Grace tells the story of Octavia's journey through recovery from alcohol addiction, and the parallel story of her father's descent into Alzheimer's. Over the course of seven years, life continues to unfold. Paths are abandoned, people fall ill, waters get choppy, and seemingly impossible things are navigated without the old fixes.
As Octavia moves between London, Stromboli, New York, Cornwall, and Margate, each place offers something new but ultimately always delivers the same message: that wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
