“A rollicking tale.” —The Washington Post *“Propulsive.” —Associated Press * “Wild, smart, energetic.” —Los Angeles Times * “Brilliant and effervescent.” —NPR

From the #1 bestselling author of The Glass Castle, the instant New York Times bestseller a “rip-roaring, action-packed” (The New York Times) novel about an indomitable young woman in prohibition-era Virginia.

Sallie Kincaid is the daughter of the biggest man in a small town, the charismatic Duke Kincaid. Born at the turn of the 20th century into a life of comfort and privilege, Sallie remembers little about her mother who died in a violent argument with the Duke. By the time she is just eight years old, the Duke has remarried and had a son, Eddie. While Sallie is her father’s daughter, sharp-witted and resourceful, Eddie is his mother’s son, timid and cerebral. When Sallie tries to teach young Eddie to be more like their father, her daredevil coaching leads to an accident, and Sallie is cast out.

Nine years later, she returns, determined to reclaim her place in the family. That’s a lot more complicated than Sallie expected, and she enters a world of conflict and lawlessness. Sallie confronts the secrets and scandals that hide in the shadows of the Big House, navigates the factions in the family and town, and finally comes into her own as a bold, sometimes reckless bootlegger.

“You’ll fall in love with Sallie on the very first page and keep rooting for her all the way through to the last” (Good Housekeeping) in this thrilling read that “goes down easy…like the forbidden whisky that defines the life of Sallie Kincaid” (Associated Press).

Love this author

I loved Jeanette Walls’ memoir “The Glass Castle, this book was also excellent. But, does anyone else see a comparison between Henry VIII and his wives/lovers with the Duke and his? Was this by coincidence??

Another great piece!

I was so excited to see this as I have read all of the other books she has written. I was not disappointed. Great story, setting and characters. Enjoyed the author’s narration also.

Incredible ! One of my favorites for all time!

What a gift that Jeanette Walls narrates her beautiful intricate and history laden tale. I could not get enough, and did not want it to end! I even savored the acknowledgements. Another star achievement for this phenomenal writer.

Wonderful Book

I sure enjoyed Jeanette Walls Glass Castle and Hang the Moon did not disappoint. Another great read from Jeanette!

Great story

Writing is top notch. Her books never disappoint. Her reading the book makes it even better

Almost listened straight through

Couldn’t put it down! Scandalous and juicy! My first fiction e-novel and I am looking for the next one!

Loved the story, but

Loved the story, but the narrator was mediocre. The voices of all the characters were very similar. At times, it was difficult to know which character was “speaking”

Excellent

I’m always skeptical of author read books, and so, I was overwhelmed by Ms. Wall’s’ performance. Excellent narration- I couldn’t imagine anyone else bringing these characters to life.

Outstanding audiobook! Highly recommend.

The characters came to life with the vivid descriptions and intertwined storylines. Well worth a listen.

Twists and Turns Everywhere!

I love that this book felt like a classic Jeanette Walls featuring a girl with a strong sense of self, but there was a little more mystery to it! I loved it! I love all her books.
