The Moth and Moon by Glenn Quigley
5.0
I picked up this novel by Glenn Quigley at my local Library and I’m so happy that I did. I recently bought Glenn’s latest novel and saw that his debut novel , The Moth and Moon, was available to a borrow. So I thought, why not?
The author transports us back to 1780 to a quaint little fishing village in Merryaple, introducing us to Robin Shipp. Most of the village didn’t get on well with Shipp because of the actions of his father and this honestly broke my heart. But then disaster strikes and only Shipp knew what was coming!
Robin is all about the sea because he finds solace there but it has caused problems in the past. The way Quigley’s use of words is astounding to say the least. The way he describes sounds, smells and even surrounding gives you no other choice but to enjoy being enveloped in the authors world. When the hurricane hits, oh may word, I was on the edge of my seat and could not put the book down. The angst, suspense and cathartic of it all was intense and loved every second of it.
I have rated this 5 starts and cannot wait to read on!
