I find that most books about people living on The Moon fall into one of two categories. The first one is campy, humorous, and filled with puns and self-awareness. The second is more like an action-adventure where The Moon (and Laser-blasters) is nothing more than a backdrop to what could otherwise be written as a modern-day Western. I can honestly say that is book is neither of those.
What it is, is a beautifully written story of grief, loss, change... but also hope, love, and what it means to be family. I don't like repeating the book description in my reviews, but the description is completely accurate and honest. But also so much more. This book has excellent character growth and development, a "world" that is both familiar and dissimilar to the world we live in. The cast is diverse, and showcases strength because of, and not in spite of, that diversity.
I look forward to future works by this author.
