"The novel creates drama while confronting intersecting systemic oppressions and intergenerational trauma by foregrounding its characters' needs, wants, wounds, and aspirations. The prose is taut with both clarity and complexity. A smart, compassionate portrayal of one woman's quest to end the cycle of violence." —Kirkus Reviews

“A bold rendering of the swathes of emotional terrain that lie between victim and abuser, child and adult, husband and wife, good and bad, past and present – a deeply compelling and important story.” — Yewande Omotoso, author of Bom Boy and The Woman Next Door

"Barbara Boswell's ,Unmaking Grace is a novel of constant questioning. Moving and thought-provoking, the narrative takes the reader on a journey of becoming not only for the country, South Africa, but also for the women who struggle for a sense of themselves." —Merle Collins, author of Angel and The Ladies Are Upstairs
