For readers of Elizabeth Strout and Barbara Kingsolver, a beautifully observed portrait of marriage, divorce, and reconciliation as an estranged couple embark on a road trip from small-town Ontario to B.C. to finally lay to rest the mystery that pulled them apart.
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, an alluring history reveals itself: of begrudging love, headstrong children and hopeless searching, and of a unique bond that never really went away.
As they drive, bicker, and lose their way, an unexpected future for this once broken couple begins to emerge.
Moon Road captures the wonderment and grief of seeing children grow up; of recovering from long-buried pain, and rediscovering those most familiar to us; of learning to live and love in a whole new way.
