Praise & Reviews
I loved the tone of this novel, it’s hauntingly beautiful. It creates a perfect balancing act between happy and sad. You can’t expect to feel one emotion for too long while reading this. The main character experiences a lot of tragedy but also great successes. The rollercoaster ride feels real.
You can almost smell the smoke from the campfire as images of the Irish countryside are imbued with a sense of foreboding as the story within The Book of Moons carries you away to another place. Ireland, travellers, orphan runaways, romance, mysticism... Excellent!
"A Masterful tale of Irish descent."
The Clare Echo
Absolutely magical - in all senses of the word! Misty, mysterious and fey, this is a novel with a strong story, beautifully crafted characters and an ethereal quality, underpinned by harsh worldly realities and choices. Thank you for a great, gentle and intriguing coming of age journey.
