A taut, exciting family drama, set on the future moon, told in rhythmic, evocative prose. Don’t be put off by the extensive cast list that opens the book: the core cast is the focus, and they are as fascinating and flawed a bunch as you’ll come across in any book. Also be aware that this is the first book in a series and be prepared for cliffhangers.
