'A wonderful voice- funny and fragile, innocent, knowing, tender and tough. I have never encountered another like it ... there is nothing simplistic about this bold, unsettling, uplifting novel. Read it. Then read it again' Clare Allan, Guardian

A woman in her thirties is released from prison, with a new name and not much else. She begins to make a fresh start but the present is soon invaded by fragments from her past.

Unsettling, hallucinatory and without precedent, Mountains of the Moon is the tragic account of a broken life, but, against all expectation, it amounts to something utterly beautiful.

Reviews for Mountains of the Moon

A beautiful, strange novel about drab, dangerous lives. Kay's imagination is exuberant, her language musical and her narrative both fantastically intricate and structurally sound -- Lucy Hughes-Hallett * New Statesman * A brilliant and sad book... The funniest book I've read in years. -- Olivia Laing * New Statesman, Book of the Year * A valorous and magnificent novel * Samantha Harvey * Compelling -- Erica Wagner * The Times * An astonishingly enjoyable debut ... Mountains of the Moon does everything that novels can do, and does them in a very original way -- Ophelia Field * Observer *
