Finding Grace by Loretta Rothschild
St Martin’s Press (July 8, 2025)
Family Life Fiction
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FATE. I KNEW IT WASN’T….
Honor seems to have everything: 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 of it―until a shocking event changes their lives forever.
Years later, Tom makes a decision that ripples through their families’ lives in ways he could never have foreseen. As the consequences of that fateful choice unfold, two women’s paths become irrevocably intertwined. But when old love clashes with new, who will be left standing? And what happens when your secrets come back to haunt you?
Blending a page-turning moral dilemma with satisfying emotional poignancy, Finding Grace is a sweeping love story that explores the price of a new beginning, how the ghosts of our past shape our future, and whether redemption can be found in the wreckage of what we’ve lost.
REVIEW
An interesting read that is hard to review without giving anything away. The first chapter ended in an OMG moment that I then realized that what I thought the book would be about, wasn’t. It’s a story of grief, choices, secrets, and love. I personally didn’t like Tom’s choices which was probably why I didn’t like his character, but I liked all the other characters in the story and what each brought to the story. The most surprising character to me was the mother-in-law. This is the author’s debut novel and will be great for a book club discussion. There’s lot to comment on and discuss. I wouldn’t say I loved the book (again probably due to Tom) but, acknowledge that it is written very well and is an interesting concept.
