Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It is 1959 and Sidonie is still coming to terms with the death of her mother, almost a year ago. Her sister Roberta, who seemed to get back to normal fairly quickly, is home from university for the summer and doing her best to rule the roost while their father works as a doctor. The summer is hot, life by the lake is languid, and passion is running high in the hearts of the two teenage girls. But as the days grow warmer, and the anniversary of their mother's death approaches, tensions that have been too long ignored begin to surface and the still of the summer is disturbed.

This stunning novel by Martha Brooks is intelligent, well-written and thought-provoking and has a Cat On a Hot Tin Roof feel about it that lingers long after the close of the story. Family relationships, from sibling rivalry to parental love, are explored sensitively, as are relationships with boys and the burgeoning sexuality of youth, all set against the backdrop of a small, lakeside town facing the end of an era.

Gripping, emotionally tense and ultimately challenging, Two Moons is a daring novel for older readers that gently bridges the divide between fiction for older children and fiction for the grown-ups. (Ages 13 and over)--Susan Harrison



Product Description

Sidonie is beautiful and lives surrounded by stunning Canadian countryside - but her life is awful, she thinks. On her 15th birthday, Sidonie's mother died, but it is now two and a half weeks before she turns 16 and nothing feels right, everything has changed. That is, until she meets Kieran.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best reads in this decade, 22 April 2001
By A Customer
This book has been my favorite for over 2 years now and so far there has only been one book that has come close enough to the outstanding descriptions and vivid colours, brought to life, in the still summer nights in Two Moons in August

5.0 out of 5 stars possibly the best book I have ever read, 29 Jun 2003
By Ms. R. E. Gibson "Roo" (Herts, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is such a brilliant story; the characters seem so real. There wasn't one part of the book that was boring or unenjoyable. It inspired me to start writing myself. You almost wish you were there in the happy and quiet little village that they live in.

5.0 out of 5 stars An extremely enjoyable read.Fully recommendable!, 14 Aug 2000
By scottac@cwcom.net (Fife,Scotland.) - See all my reviews
I found it very gripping and romantic in some parts,and enjoyed it fully.The plot was very good and I would like to read some more of Martha Brooks. The characters were well thought up,and it was as though they were real,and it was based on a true story.In some books it can have the effect that it was meant to not seem real,but if Martha Brooks intended to make the characters live in real life,then I think that she has achieved this.
