Rose Gray

Fiction

“Rose Gray is a character rendered with such precision and clarity, it is so easy to fall in love with her. The reader becomes her, facing life on a government farm in post-World War II England; we risk friendship and first feelings of love, we learn to navigate her father’s mercurial moods and her mother’s veiled past. We learn that war makes a mark on us all, and we come to understand that finding our own path, while not easy, is possible.”
