Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Every year, Amanda Kincaid vacations on Long Island with her extended family. She's there again this year at the start of Maryanne Stahl's thoughtful if belabored novel Forgive the Moon, but things are different: her mother is dead, her husband has stayed at home in Atlanta and her college-age daughter is living with her boyfriend in Boston. Only her 10-year-old son, Damien, is still by her side as she mulls over her rocky relationship with her husband and her memories of her schizophrenic mother. A romance with a local doctor provides a bit of relief, but Stahl doesn't let her protagonist slip into an easy happy ending.
Product Description
A provocative new voice in women's fiction, Maryanne Stahl presents a compelling story of a woman haunted by loss-and struggling to find a new place in the world.
When Amanda Kincaid comes to Long Island for her family's annual beach vacation, she can't help but reflect on the many recent-and significant-changes in her life. Her mother has passed away after years of mental illness. Her marriage is falling apart. And her beloved daughter has just left for college. But when Amanda meets a doctor who's summering nearby, long-forgotten passions ignite-and a new season of her life begins...
"Stahl takes us to the beach for only a week-but she shows us a lifetime of longing." (Rita Ciresi, author of Pink Slip and Sometimes I Dream in Italian)
