As with many of the characters in Johnston's novels, Alexander Moore is a young man who tries to escape the responsibilities and limitations of the class into which he has been born by forging a relationship with someone from the opposite side of the great social, religious and political divide.
By her own admission this may be due in part to Johnston's own experience of the break-up of her parent's marriage when she was a child and her own divorce from her first husband.
Through the characters of Alex and Jerry, Johnston seems to be suggesting that it is their Irishness that sets them apart and allows them to maintain their humanity in the face of the pervasive dehumanisation of war.

 RTE.ie Entertainment - Grace and Truth by Jennifer Johnston
Johnston's style of writing pays perfect attention to detail as her story unwinds, aptly using the war in Iraq as a backdrop and often as a mirror for Sally's tattered heart.
It would not be unfair to say that the tale itself is quite predictable as it develops and some light is eventually shed on what brought the characters to their current standpoint.
Johnston has a great sense of real-life, the everyday and the extraordinary depth of bitter human emotion.

 Bibliofemme: Grace and Truth by Jennifer Johnston
Jennifer Johnston is a great storyteller, that much is true.
I'm told graduates of the Irish secondary school system are likely to have encountered her coming-of-age novel Shadows on Our Skin, which was Booker Prize listed in 1977, but I had never come across her work until I read and thoroughly enjoyed This is not a Novel in 2002.
It is to Johnston's credit that, even if you guess the truth, this is still a highly enjoyable read.
