How far would you travel to find a love lost in time?
‘Where do you come from?’ Peggy asks Tommy. No matter how strong his feelings for her, Tommy can’t tell Peggy the truth, because his family all share a secret gift: they can travel through time.
His parents Joshua and Lily long to push the boundaries of their talent, crisscrossing through the 20th century on ever more daring adventures. But a freak accident leaves Tommy and his sister Eva alone, grieving, and desperate for answers. Together, the siblings must decide how much the present day means to them, and how far they are willing to travel to hold onto the people they love.
Heartfelt and hopeful, weaving through decades and across continents, The Moon Represents My Heart is an unforgettable debut about one extraordinary family, the gift that threatens to tear them apart and the love that binds them together.
‘An immediately compelling, unusual story with a totally fresh voice.’ Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne
