Leaves its traces in the air long after you've put it away—Anne Tyler A complex tapestry of great subtlety. Lively writes so well, savouring the words as she goes—Daily Telegraph Very clever: evocative, thought-provoking and hangs on the mind long after it is finished—Literary Review Lively's ability to bring her character and the world she inhabits into full technicolour is beautiful. This is a unique book about a fascinating unpredictable woman way ahead of her time and yet absolutely of her time—Lemn Sissay One of Britain's most celebrated novelists. Moon Tiger's multiple, shifting viewpoints weaves an eloquent disquisition on memory, identity, age, love and regret—Financial Times Atmospheric, inventive.
