Product Description
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.

Good read, but I'd like to see something new from Rice November 10, 2008
This always seems to happen, an author reaches a certain point and they run out of new ideas and plots. It's always disappointing, but you keep up hope. I have enjoyed some of Rice's "newer" novels, I'd put this on that list. But at the same token, the plots & characters seem recycled.
Again, overall I liked this book, but I am just looking for something fresh and new. I don't want to read the same sorts of stories and characters over & over. I did like that this book gave us a change of scenery being mainly in France. But even that wasn't enough to get over the fact that the characters reminded me of so many others of Rice's.
A good read, fun, romantic, but if you've read all of Rice's others, this won't be anything new for you.

I am a huge Luanne Rice fan , though I believe some are better than others. I love her emotional connection that you feel to her characters.
I loved this book and hating the fact that it ended. I felt like she made you feel the love of the horses, the feel of France and the emotional pain of the characters. I recommend it.

 Very Disappointing July 27, 2008

I have read all of Luanne Rice's books and was very disappointed in this one. Her writing is very contrived, simplistic and choppy. It lacked depth, substance and flow. It almost seemed to me that she threw this together in a week or so. I actually had to force myself to finish reading it. Many of her books are very predictable (as is this one), but still enjoyable to read. I felt the quality of her writing in this book was sorely lacking.
 One of the Best Book I've Read June 29, 2008

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!!!!!
