Resumen del Editor

For listeners 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A brilliant, compassionate novel that unflinchingly lays bare what we can’t know about those we love and what we can’t forget. Moon Road is a masterpiece of self-assured, keenly-observant, heart-wrenching storytelling. Every page is a delight, leading to an ending that left me absolutely breathless. Beautiful, clever, captivating—a must read!"—Shelley Read, author of Go As a River

"A whip-smart take on the classic road trip, with a compulsive bread-crumb plot, Moon Road is at once a candid portrait of aging, an astute primer on parenting, and a masterful novel of love, loss, and navigating life's darkest moments."—CS Richardson, author of All the Colour in the World

"Moon Road is a story that confronts what it really means to be human—it’s about how love still burns after a long and hard time, about the unexpected ways that sadness lives within us, about longing for a time in life when something could still change. This book is intimate and tender in some ways, but so fierce and full in others—the Canadian landscapes, the tension of an estranged couple on a road trip, the mystery of a missing daughter. I just couldn’t put it down. Sarah Leipciger has written a brilliant, beautiful novel I’ll remember forever."—Ashley Audrain, author of The Push and The Whispers
