Description
Moon Palace is a mesmerising novel that spans three generations, from the early years of this century to the first lunar landings. It tells the story of Marco Stanley Fogg, an orphan and child of the 1960s, who embarks on a quest for love, his unknown father, and the key to his origins and fate.
With suspense, unlikely coincidences, wrenching tragedies, and marvellous flights of lyricism, this novel carries the reader effortlessly along with Marco's search. Set against the backdrop of Manhattan's canyons and the American West's cruelly beautiful landscape, Moon Palace is a story that moves seamlessly from one era to another.
