Title: Grace notes
Description: "This tender and amusing novel is set in the 1990s, with the Springbok Tour still a recent memory, and as New Zealand debates whether to adopt parliamentary electoral reforms. 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: the problems of younger people invade her solitary life. Grace touches the lives of many with her warmth, her feistiness, her intelligence, and her frailty."--Provided by publisher.
