Wonderful Story!

This was the first of her books I've read, and I'm DEFINATELY going to read more! This story was a beautiful romantic soul-searcher. It has a bit of a 'Horse Whisperer' feel to it, though there are no married persons involved, and this is a good example that a story can be all you think it should be to be satisfying without the smut and language that so many authors put in their books these days. The end also was not what I expected. Normally in a romance he meets her, you know they're going to end up together, the only thing left is to read the story to find out how. Not so in this book. The setting was a bit difficult for me. I had a hard time with the names of the towns, and I'm afraid I don't have much of an imagination when it comes to far away places. But the story was so good that those limitations didn't matter. A good romance, a good horse book, a great page-turner for sure.

Boring and Predictable

This was my 13th Rice book as I've loved most of the others, but if this had been my first, it would have been my last. As my title shows, I found the characters boring and the whole story too predictable. Hard to believe Marie would have left her 8 y/o daughter in the way she did and never look back. I made myself read it to the end but I thought it would take forever. Rice is better than this, in my opinion. Maybe I'm just tired of these chick/lits!!!

One of the Best Book I've Read

I just finished this book and it was one of those you never wanted to end. I LOVED it. I have only read a few of Rice's books and have loved all of them. This is well worth the time and money. I could really feel the emotions and connections of all the characters. MUST READ!!!!!

Another Great Read

I am a fan of Luanne Rice. Although this one is a bit slow to get gong it is well worth the needed push to get into it. Once I was in to the story I literally did not put it down until I was done! Thank you Luanne for another fantastic story. I always feel like I KNOW your characters and this one was no exception.

New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice transports readers across the sea in this moving, magical tale of a lonely woman with a promise to keep. Set in a landscape of stunning natural beauty, Light of the Moon is a chronicle of mothers and daughters, friendship and family, and an electrifying love that illuminates a path through heartbreak and loss?and will shine in your memory long after the final page.

Spurred by her mother?s dying wish, Susannah Connolly has traveled from her lifelong home on the Connecticut shoreline to the fabled French Camargue, to see its famous white horses and find a mysterious saint linked to her family?s history. An accomplished anthropologist, Susannah has always been confident of her ability to navigate anywhere on the globe. But in the wake of a failed love affair and grieving the loss of her mother, she is adrift and uncertain, seeking only time alone to dig deeply into the personal archaeology of her own life.

American-born Grey Dempsey had come to the Camargue as a journalist, fell in love with a celebrated Romany rider, and suffered a devastating loss of his own. Now he operates a ranch as he struggles to raise his spirited but troubled young daughter who, after a terrible night years ago, fears the horses she once loved.

Within their bittersweet private orbit, in the midst of the endless silvered marshlands, Susannah Connolly will find a part of herself she hadn?t known she had lost. And here she will find herself embraced by a circle of strong and passionate women bound together by their abiding faith in the legendary slave-saint Susannah seeks and in the miracles she is said to still perform for those who believe. Yet old secrets swirl within the fog-shrouded landscape, betrayals that may be beyond the power of any saint, or supplicant, to repair.

Singular, lyrical, Light of the Moon is Luanne Rice at her most spell-binding, as she explores?as only she can?how sometimes to find your way home you must travel far away.
