A woman wakes from a coma, its cause unknown. She refuses to see her family; she does not say why. Slowly, almost reluctantly, she becomes stronger. Now she will walk. Where?

Walking to the Moon, Kate Cole-Adams' enthralling, seductive debut novel is both a psychological journey and a piercing exploration of abandonment and loss. A work of striking subtlety and maturity, it is without doubt the start of something special.

'Walking to the Moon is a novel of breathtaking lyricism and sensuality. The narrative momentum is faultless...A startling new voice in Australian fiction.' Age
