Order

“Mary Beth Keane writes to the heart of the human heart…I could not put this book down.”
—MIRANDA COWLEY-HELLER, author of The Paper Palace
“One of our finest writers on the interior complexities of marriage and family…I ran my finger over sentences while reading, thinking: ‘Yes, exactly.’ This kind of fiction allows us to look around our own lives with respect and kindness and is therefore a great gift.” 
—ANN NAPOLITANO, author of Dear Edward
“The Half Moon is one of those rare novels that feels simultaneously classic and contemporary. …The Half Moon is about the choices we make in who we love and how we love and when we need to come to terms with the past. I could not stop reading.” 
—VENDELA VIDA, author of We Run the Tides
“Another brilliantly absorbing novel about complicated marriages and family dynamics—how they shape us, yes, but how they undo us as well. Prepare to lose yourself in this book.” 
—SARA COLLINS, author of The Confessions of Frannie Langton
“Dead-on brilliant, authentic, full of humor, and possessing a dark and comforting wisdom. The Half Moon is a triumph.” 
—ADRIENNE BRODEUR, author of Wild Game
