A monumental saga which is definitely for lovers of Catherine Cookson.
It tells of the trials and tribulations of Grace from her difficult childhood.a loveless marriage to eventually finding love.
It is a real saga that draws you in from the very first page and is so difficult to put down.
It is one of those books that leaves you bereft when you finish it because you have lost a friend.
Rosie Goodwin never leys you down and this book is no exception.
Can’t rate it high enough.

Review: Another compelling book by Rosie Goodwin about a women who has to be strong to get through her life. A Mother's Grace has great characters that you feel deeply about whether that be with love or loath. A really strong detailed plot. A great book to while away a few hours with.

This book tells the story of Grace and to a lesser extent her mother Madeline. Grace is kind and generous, but not perfect which makes her a likeable heroine. She makes mistakes in particular when she married Dylan and she bravely lives with the consequences of her decision rather than taking the easy option and running away. The book also enabled me to learn a little more about the work of women in WW1 a subject I have become increasingly interested in.
My only criticism is how little we learn about Luke who is so important to Grace's journey and the author could have developed his character more.
I love Rosie Goodwin's books having discovered her in my local library last year and I look forward to reading more from here. Thank you to Netgalley for giving me a copy of this book in return for an honest review.

A great book following the ups and downs of Grace's life. Born into a well off family her father is a Judge you'd think that Grace would have a comfortable life. Due to circumstances beyond her control things don't go as planned. Grace is a fighter and she won't give up she just rolls up her sleeves and gets on with what life deals her. A great read.

Sometimes life throws us curve balls and we just have to deal with them . Madeline had to endure a loveless marriage to a man who had a fetish for young girls . Her only salvation was her daughter Grace who she had to protect him from by turning to her religion and faithful staff for help and protection.Her own daughter Grace suffers the same fate as she marries only to give her son a father . Again a loveless marriage filled with drunkenness and beatings. Again this mother survived because of her son. Mothers are survivors and protectors of their children . This book shows that .
