Set in two neighbouring Southern towns, Darnell Arnoult’s Sufficient Grace is a moving and beautifully observed novel about family, faith, mental illness and the possibility of renewal.
When Gracie Hollaman begins hearing voices that urge her to abandon her home, husband and daughter, she sets out on an extraordinary journey that awakens an unexpected gift for painting and brings her into the lives of two remarkable women, Mama Toot and Mattie.
As two very different families are gradually drawn together, Arnoult explores the bonds of love and belonging, and the ways in which people can remake their lives after loss.
Warm, compassionate and touched with humour, Sufficient Grace is ultimately a hopeful novel about transformation, redemption and the sustaining power of human connection.
