Moon Road: Exquisite portrait of marriage, divorce and reconciliation, for fans of OH WILLIAM |

pickAlmost twenty years ago Kathleen and Yannick have lost their daughter Una. She went missing on the other side of Canada. Their marriage stranded and they haven‘t seen each other for years. Now there‘s a body found and together they drive all across the country, covering kilometers and time lost forever.
The characters, their grief, the roadtrip: it‘s all done so well. Recommended.

panI didn‘t connect with the style of writing and not with the characters. I truly didn‘t. Unfortunate but not all can be 5-star reads. 🤷🏻♀️
While I‘m ripping through The Bee Sting at a pretty good clip, I own that one and the library is only giving me 7 days to read this one, Moon Road. 🇨🇦
pickThis was recommended to me as a book for fans of Strout and Kingsolver and so of course I was right in. This story is told in a measured, dispassionate, observational tone which reminded me a lot of Strout‘s writing in a good way. It‘s about loss and hope, connection and disconnection in a marriage, and it‘s one of those stories that just really gets people for all their flaws. Everything about it felt three dimensional and real.
pickBest book I‘ve read this year - runner up is Claire Keegan‘s So Late in the Day. The main characters are reunited after 3 decades when they get word that their missing daughter‘s bones may have been found on a train on the west coast of Canada. Brilliant prose, every word matters. A gem 5 ⭐️
I cannot say enough about Moon Road by Sarah Leipcigar. I was hooked by the end of page one. The main characters are so well developed, the prose is crisp and sharp, and the story sucks you in.
I couldn‘t wait for this to drop in 🇨🇦 so I ordered it from the UK. I can‘t wait to dive in.
I ordered my copy. The reviews look great and she could write about wallpaper and I‘d be captivated.
