Review
Superbly executed... by turns funny, revealing and sad, the novel is both enchanted and enchanting' Daily Telegraph Cool, crafted poise and sly wit' Penny Perrick, The Times 'Jennifer Johnston's latest novel is a modern fairy tale with a dark theme... she handles [her material] so delicately, so deftly and wittily that we willingly suspend disbelief' Margaret Walters, Sunday Times 'Jennifer Johnston spins her yarn into a shimmering confection whose surface limpidity conceals layer upon layer of narrative meaning, yet whose overall effect is of simplicity, lightness and ease... This is a novel of immense sophistication, familiar yet distant as the moon of the title' Irish Times
