Good Story 009: The Mystery of Grace

Eifelheim by Michael Flynn


In Episode #9, Julie and Scott discuss The Mystery of Grace by Charles de Lint.

On the Day of the Dead, at the Solona Music Hall, Altagracia Quintero meets John Burns — just two weeks too late.

Grace, as her friends call her, has a Ford Motor Company tattoo running down her leg and grease worked deep into her hands. She works at Sanchez Motorworks customizing hot rods. Finding the line in a classic car is her calling. Now Grace has to find the line in her own life. Grace loves John, and John loves her, and that would be wonderful, except that John, like Grace, has unfinished business: he’s haunted by the childhood death of his younger brother. He's never stopped feeling responsible. Before their relationship can find its resolution, the two of them will have to teach each other about life and love, about hot rods and Elvis Presley, and about why it's necessary to let some things go.
