About this ebook
A mesmeric portrait of a decades-long marriage, wrapped in a powerful family mystery - for fans of ELIZABETH STROUT and BARBARA KINGSOLVER
'A darker, gruffer Elizabeth Strout' The Times
'Sarah Leipciger is a consummate storyteller' Rachel Joyce
'Tough, tender, wonderful' Joanna Quinn, author of The Whalebone Theatre
'A sucker-punch of a novel' Grazia
____________________________
Kathleen and Yannick have not spoken for nineteen years, not since what happened with their daughter.
Now, there’s unexpected news from the other side of the country, and the call for a road trip they can only make together.
As they rattle for hundreds of miles in a pick-up, through forests, over mountains and into service stations, a heartbreaking history reveals itself: of fierce love, complicated ex-wives and headstrong children, and of a unique bond that never really went away.
As they drive, argue, gossip and reminisce, an unexpected future begins to emerge.
Gripping, emotional, witty: MOON ROAD captures the wonder and grief of watching our children grow up; of recovering from long buried pain, and rediscovering those closest to us when we think we know all there is to know.
