Items related to Mountains of the Moon
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.
Joint winner of the Author's Club First Novel Award

Review:
"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)
"Few 350-page, first-person novels - even fewer contemporary British novels - are unputdownable. This is one of them." (Eileen Battersby Irish Times)
"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)
"This extraordinary and quite brilliant first novel describes a life that is bumping along at the very bottom... The author manages to present the fragments as a funny, charming, beautiful whole." (Kate Saunders 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)
