PERFECT SUMMER ESCAPISM: THE TIME-TRAVELLING LOVE STORY YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT DOWN
'A beautiful exploration of family, love and loss across the generations. Fresh, fun... I didn't want it to end.' Gemma Chan
This is the story of Joshua, Lily, Tommy and Eva: one family with an extraordinary gift – they can all travel through time. But when their parents disappear, Tommy and Eva must work out how to move on.
Tommy takes refuge in the past, and a love affair with a woman from a different era keeps him there. Escaping his unhappy life in contemporary London feels like a relief at first. But no one can live two stories. Eventually, Tommy will have to decide where his heart – and his future – really belong.
The Moon Represents My Heart is a stunning debut about grief, resilience, and the courage it takes to face an uncertain future, from an outstanding new literary talent.
