In Touch With Grace

Letter-writing is about to give way to email, but elderly Grace will resist the trend. Through letters and stories, we learn of her friendships, the interactions of the argumentative bowling club, her growing attraction to and relationship with Max, and the jealousy this engenders in her closest friend, Mildred. As the story unfolds, Grace faces new challenges, and the problems of younger people invade her solitary life. In this tender and amusing novel set in New Zealand in the nineties, Grace touches the lives of many with her warmth, her feistiness, her intelligence and her frailty.
