For fans of Elizabeth Strout and Barbara Kingsolver: Beautifully observed portrait of marriage, divorce and reconciliation as an estranged couple go on a road trip to uncover a family mystery.'A darker, gruffer Elizabeth Strout' THE TIMES'Sarah Leipciger is a consummate storyteller' RACHEL JOYCE'Tough, tender, wonderful' JOANNA QUINN, author of The Whalebone Theatre'A sucker-punch of a novel' GRAZIA'Kathleen is a wonderful character, spiky and obstinate, but also vulnerable and big-hearted’ GOOD HOUSEKEEPING____________________________It’s irksome to her, how well she knows this man, how much he has changed and how exactly the same he is ...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, through forests, over mountains and into service stations, an alluring history reveals itself: of fierce love, complicated ex-wives and headstrong children, and of a unique bond that never really went away.As they drive, argue, gossip and reminisce, an unexpected future for this once estranged couple begins to emerge.MOON ROAD captures the wonder and grief of watching our children grow up; of recovering from long buried pain, and rediscovering those closest to us when we think we know all there is to know; and of learning to live and love in a completely new way.‘Delicately observed, forceful and moving, this story of love, family bonds and the agony of loss is utterly absorbing - and so beautifully written' LUCY ATKINS‘A beautifully imagined portrait…a melancholy, meditative and simply gorgeously written story about two people, and enduring love' WOMAN AND HOME‘A truly divine book, I loved both its simplicity and depth’ PRIMA book of the month'A road trip into the human heart. Generously alive' FRANCIS SPUFFORD'Fierce, tragic, lyrical. I just loved it' CLAIRE FULLER - E-bokEngelska, 2015

Paris, 1899: Die Leiche einer jungen Frau wird aus der Seine gezogen. Ihr Gesichtsausdruck ist so rätselhaft und friedlich, dass man eine Totenmaske anfertigt, deren Lächeln bald die ganze Stadt kennt. Sarah Leipciger gibt dieser wahren Geschichte neues Leben und lässt die Unbekannte erzählen: von ihrer Kindheit in der Provinz, ihrer ersten eigenen Arbeit in der Großstadt und von einer enttäuschten Liebe.Die Spuren der jungen Frau reichen bis nach Norwegen in das Jahr 1959, wo ein Vater seinen kleinen Sohn an einen reißenden Fluss verliert und Jahre später jene Puppe entwickelt, an der man heute die Mund-zu-Mund-Beatmung lernt. Die Spur führt auch nach Kanada in die Gegenwart, wo Anouk nach einer Lungentransplantation den ersten freien Atemzug nimmt. Dieses Buch ist eine großartige Feier des Lebens! - E-bokTyska, 2025

Bewegend, klug und mit trockenem Humor: Roadmovie mit Herz»Wie gut sie diesen Mann kennt. Es macht sie ganz verrückt zu sehen, wie sehr er sich verändert hat und wie sehr er doch derselbe geblieben ist.«Kathleen und Yannick haben neunzehn Jahre lang nicht miteinander gesprochen, nicht seit des Streits wegen ihrer Tochter. Nun gibt es Neuigkeiten von anderen Ende Kanadas. Diese Fahrt können sie nur gemeinsam antreten.Zweitausend Meilen wilde Wälder und Berge, grottige Raststätten und ein wackeliger Pick-up: auf diesem Road Trip muss Kathleen erst neu entdecken, was sie alles mit Yannick verbindet. Die beiden fahren und streiten, lachen und erinnern sich: an ihre Liebe, ihre Fehler, ihre eigensinnige Tochter, die komplizierten Ex-Partner und an jene besondere Nähe, die niemals ganz verschwunden ist.»Moon Road« erzählt von altem Schmerz, lang gehegter Hoffnung und der Chance zu lernen, von Grund auf neu zu leben und zu lieben. - Inbunden, Tyska, 2025
