Grace is Gone

Morey’s second novel, and one of five fiction finalists for the 2005 Kiriyama Prize, Grace is Gone is a unique representation of New Zealand fiction. Centred around the main character Cherry, the novel narrates a humorous and immersive story of her return to her small-town home of Meridian. Here is where we meet her charming father-figure Billy; his daughters, known to the town as the Flower girls, and Grace: Cherry’s childhood friend who died many years ago.
