"Left of the Moon" is a novel that restores one's faith in human nature - not through rose-tinted spectacles, but through showing that, although we can't put back the clock, the past does not have to dictate our behaviour today or tomorrow . We are not victims of fate.
The story has as its main theme family relationships - mainly mother and daughter, but also father and daughter, sibling relationships and husband/wife. I'm sure almost every reader could find themselves somewhere here. The author, Monica Tracey, has a non-sensationalised and powerful way of writing, with genuine humanity and sympathy for her characters, despite their flaws. In addition to the well-drawn characters, the story is beautifully evocative of place - from Ireland to the Abruzzo region of Italy. I enjoyed the incorporation of real people and events which helped to make this a compelling and thought-provoking novel.

Format:Kindle Edition
This is a novel that engages the reader from the very start. I was moved by the child's loving relationship with her father, and got more and more sucked in to the family revelations, the understated explanations as to the complications of family dynamics, and the ease with which communication breakdown impacts on generations. This is a good story, beautifully written and very well researched. Highly recommended.
Format:Paperback
A compelling novel about loss and the human condition. A rare page turner in this genre. Sharing vicariously in the secrets of the characters. Travelling between Northern Ireland, South London and Italy. Read in a couple of sittings and mourned when it was finished like Anthony O'Brien.
