Moments of Glad Grace by Alison Wearing
Being 80 and in the early stages of Parkinson's Disease, Joe takes his daughter Alison along as his reluctant assistant on genealogical research trip to Ireland. Very quickly, the father-daughter turns into a bittersweet adventure rather than a studious mission. Their explorations move into the realm of family and forgiveness, the search for identity and belonging, and questions about responsibility to our ancestors and the extent to which we are shaped by the people who came before us. Ultimately it is a song of appreciation for the precious and limited time we have with our parents.
Alison Wearing is the bestselling author of Confessions of a Fairy's Daughter, an Indigo Top 50 pick shortlisted for the Edna Staebler Prize and longlisted for the RBC Taylor Prize, and Honeymoon in Purdah: An Iranian Journey. She teaches, performs solo multimedia plays, and leads writing workshops internationally.
