An emotionally astute and eloquent tale of love, loss, and family as estranged parents take a road trip across Canada. Oh how I love the way Sarah Leipciger writes, her debut The Mountain Can Wait spoke to my soul, she is able to open your eyes and encourages thoughts to enter uncharted territory. While sparking new feelings, her words are so wonderfully easy to read, they fall into place, seemingly simple yet incredibly powerful. The two main characters in Moon Road haven’t spoken to each other for 19 years, they come together to take a road trip and attempt to solve a family mystery. Kathleen and Yannick have become a part of me, so beautifully described I travelled not just beside, but inside them. Prepare for emotions to be sliced and stitched back together as this is a devastating yet also somehow comforting novel. I was intrigued, I was surprised, I cried. Moon Road is fiercely thought-provoking and so incredibly intimate and penetrating it has joined our LoveReading Star Books and is featured as a Liz Pick of the Month. Highly recommended.

It’s irksome to her, how well she knows this man, how much he has changed and how exactly the same he is ...
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 over two thousand miles in a pick-up, through forests, over mountains and into service stations, an alluring 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 for this once estranged couple begins to emerge.
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; and of learning to live and love in a completely new way.
