SAVING GRACE is going to pull you right in from page one.
Be prepared
not to do anything else until you read the very last page.
I read it in one
day, flipping the pages all the while, telling myself,
just one more page. Ted
is a famous author that can be very moody and demanding
but luckily he
has an amazing assistant that keeps everything going
smoothly.
Unfortunately she must quit and they place an ad online to
find a
replacement. That's when Beth comes into their lives. She
seems perfect
and starts working and seems to completely organize
everything in their
lives to perfection, at least for awhile. Then Grace's
life starts to fall apart.
SAVING GRACE is the story of a woman having her life
stolen from her.
We watch everything around Grace starting to spin at
first, slowly and then
spiral out of control until she is left with nothing, with
even her reputation in
tatters. We watch her slow struggle to get her life back
on track and come
back "better than ever" towards a showdown with her
husband and Beth
that you know from very early on in the book is inevitable
at some point.
Brilliantly written with all the action going on and seen
through Grace's
eyes. You will feel all she feels and will find yourself
holding your breath as
the action happens. Once I started reading SAVING GRACE I
could not
stop. I had to find it how Grace's story was going to
end. I couldn't believe
what she endured and at times her story was heartbreaking.
Many recipes are included throughout SAVING GRACE as well.
I have
always enjoyed Jane's books since the early days of Mr
Maybe and my
favorite one Jemima J, but she is now even better as her
writing has
become more serious. Her last three releases have all been
amazing reads
and I can't wait for the next one. SAVING GRACE is a true
page-turner
that I could not put down, arousing every imaginable
emotion and then
some. Even as I suspected some of what might be going on
long before
any of the characters did, that fact did not in any way
detract from my
enjoyment. I was totally engaged and loved the characters
of Grace, Sybil,
and Lydia...and loathed both Ted and Beth.
Grace and Ted Chapman are widely regarded as the perfect literary power couple. Ted is a successful novelist and Grace, his wife of twenty years, is beautiful, stylish, carefree, and a wonderful homemaker. But what no one sees, what is churning under the surface, is Ted’s rages. His mood swings. And the precarious house of cards that their lifestyle is built upon. When Ted’s longtime assistant and mainstay leaves, the house of cards begins to crumble and Grace, with dark secrets in her past, is most vulnerable. She finds herself in need of help but with no one to turn to…until the perfect new assistant shows up out of the blue. To the rescue comes Beth, a competent young woman who can handle Ted and has the calm efficiency to weather the storms that threaten to engulf the Chapman household. Soon, though, it’s clear to Grace that Beth might be too good to be true. This new interloper might be the biggest threat of all, one that could cost Grace her marriage, her reputation, and even her sanity. With everything at stake and no one to confide in, Grace must find a way to save herself before it is too late. Powerful and riveting, Jane Green's Saving Grace will have you on the edge of your seat as you follow Grace on her harrowing journey to rock bottom and back.
