Product Description
New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice transports readers across the sea in this moving, magical tale of a lonely woman with a promise to keep. Set in a landscape of stunning natural beauty, Light of the Moon is a chronicle of mothers and daughters, friendship and family, and an electrifying love that illuminates a path through heartbreak and loss…and will shine in your memory long after the final page.
Spurred by her mother’s dying wish, Susannah Connolly has traveled from her lifelong home on the Connecticut shoreline to the fabled French Camargue, to see its famous white horses and find a mysterious saint linked to her family’s history. An accomplished anthropologist, Susannah has always been confident of her ability to navigate anywhere on the globe. But in the wake of a failed love affair and grieving the loss of her mother, she is adrift and uncertain, seeking only time alone to dig deeply into the personal archaeology of her own life.
American-born Grey Dempsey had come to the Camargue as a journalist, fell in love with a celebrated Romany rider, and suffered a devastating loss of his own. Now he operates a ranch as he struggles to raise his spirited but troubled young daughter who, after a terrible night years ago, fears the horses she once loved.
Within their bittersweet private orbit, in the midst of the endless silvered marshlands, Susannah Connolly will find a part of herself she hadn’t known she had lost. And here she will find herself embraced by a circle of strong and passionate women bound together by their abiding faith in the legendary slave-saint Susannah seeks and in the miracles she is said to still perform for those who believe. Yet old secrets swirl within the fog-shrouded landscape, betrayals that may be beyond the power of any saint, or supplicant, to repair.
Singular, lyrical, Light of the Moon is Luanne Rice at her most spell-binding, as she explores—as only she can—how sometimes to find your way home you must travel far away.

• Another Great Read 27 May, 2008
I am a fan of Luanne Rice. Although this one is a bit slow to get gong it is well worth the needed push to get into it. Once I was in to the story I literally did not put it down until I was done! Thank you Luanne for another fantastic story. I always feel like I KNOW your characters and this one was no exception.

• Very Disappointing 27 July, 2008
I have read all of Luanne Rice's books and was very disappointed in this one. Her writing is very contrived, simplistic and choppy. It lacked depth, substance and flow. It almost seemed to me that she threw this together in a week or so. I actually had to force myself to finish reading it. Many of her books are very predictable (as is this one), but still enjoyable to read. I felt the quality of her writing in this book was sorely lacking.

• Not Up To Par 23 June, 2008
I am a huge fan of Luanne Rice, but this book disappointed me. I found it boring and difficult to get into. This surprises me as I love horses and the theme really appeals to me. But I found the child to be just too over the top and difficult to relate to. (I feel I can make that statement since I share a similar background.) I did enjoy the history of the area, but I had to force myself to finish the book. It also seemed that the ending was just too unreal. If the child was that much of a basket case, it seemed unlikely all would be solved in an instant.

• One Of The Best Book I've Read 29 June, 2008
I just finished this book and it was one of those you never wanted to end. I LOVED it. I have only read a few of Rice's books and have loved all of them. This is well worth the time and money. I could really feel the emotions and connections of all the characters. MUST READ!!!!!
