A review by joysbookcase
Moon and the Mars by Kia Corthron

4.0

It took me a while to get into this as the stream of consciousness style isn’t my favourite and the absence of formal dialogue tags made it hard to follow in parts, but I’m so glad I persevered.

I knew embarrassingly little about the American Civil War but Theo and her family provided such a fascinating lens through which to learn.

I agree with other reviews that sometimes historical accuracy seems to take precedent over storytelling, but that’s a minor gripe for such a richly immersive and moving tale.
