À propos de cet audio
An Instant New York Times Bestseller
A Today Read With Jenna Book Club Pick
"I dare you not to fall wildly in love with Grace...It's a book about love, about grace, about even when we fall from those we love we can always find our way home...You will laugh on the first page and you will keep laughing until you're crying on the last page." ―Jenna Bush Hager, The Today Show's #ReadwithJenna
Bernadette, Eleanor Oliphant, Rosie, Ove . . . meet Amazing Grace Adams, the funny, touching, unforgettable story of an invisible everywoman pushed to the brink—who finally pushes back.
Grace Adams gave birth, blinked, and now suddenly she is forty-five, perimenopausal and stalled—the unhappiest age you can be, according to the Guardian. And today she’s really losing it. Stuck in traffic, she finally has had enough. To the astonishment of everyone, Grace gets out of her car and simply walks away.
Grace sets off across London, armed with a £200 cake, to win back her estranged teenage daughter on her sixteenth birthday. Because today is the day she’ll remind her daughter that no matter how far we fall, we can always get back up again. Because Grace Adams used to be amazing. Her husband thought so. Her daughter thought so. Even Grace thought so. But everyone seems to have forgotten. Grace is about to remind them . . . and, most important, remind herself.

An Indie Next Pick for September 2023
"Claire Skinner convinces listeners from the onset that she is the one and only amazing Grace Adams. With humor and sarcasm, Skinner portrays the formidable linguist, who has never wanted children. Instead she lands a dream job on a London TV show. But new motherhood eventually costs Grace her job. Then she discovers unexpected love. Skinner reveals the joy and anguish Grace experiences amid life's rocky twists. She maneuvers Grace's chaotic inner life seamlessly. Well written and expertly narrated, this audiobook is a must-listen." (AudioFile)
"Grace Adams is also the latest in a series of brilliant, beautiful and privileged protagonists (Amy Dunne, Bernadette Fox, Barbie) undone by the challenges of modern womanhood."—The New York Times Book Review
“A gripping story of joy, grief, stress, worry, love at first sight, parenting...frank, nuanced, and evocative.”—Kirkus
“Hugely enjoyable. Compelling, funny and poignant. I devoured it.”—Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl On The Train

Funny, touching, and heartfelt
This story drew me in right from the first page. I loved the timeline jumps and the way the author led up to "the reaspn" why Grace's life had fractured so badly.
The novel explores the ups snd downs of marriage, the complications of aging as a woman, and the unrelenting ferocity of a mother's unconditional love for her child.
Superb narration by Claire Skinner!
