Mountains of the Moon

‘A wonderful voice- funny and fragile, innocent, knowing, tender and tough. I have never encountered another like it … there is nothing simplistic about this bold, unsettling, uplifting novel. Read it. Then read it again’ Clare Allan, Guardian

A woman in her thirties is released from prison, with a new name and not much else. She begins to make a fresh start but the present is soon invaded by fragments from her past.Unsettling, hallucinatory and without precedent, Mountains of the Moon is the tragic account of a broken life, but, against all expectation, it amounts to something utterly beautiful.
