Maria in the Moon

Product Information

So, I have to start off by saying how beautiful this cover truly is! And I absolutely LOVE the title!! Thirty two year-old Catherine Hope has a good memory. She remembers all the minutiae of life, including events that took place many years ago. However, she seems to have lost all memory of her ninth year - recalls nothing at all, and naturally she finds this really difficult to comprehend. How can you lose a whole year of your life? And why all of a sudden, did her family stop calling her Catherine - Maria around the same time? Wow, I adored this book - Catherine reminded me of Eleanor Oliphant in many ways, and her combined humour and profound sadness were just so enduring. I found it hard to connect with all the characters and I was pretty bored in the beginning following Catherine's story. I did not like the ending as well and the "twist" was just disappointing. I think some books actually shouldn't have a twist. Achingly, wonderfully, brilliant and totally compelling - 'Maria In The Moon' made me laugh, made me cry, made me think and above all made me made me care deeply for the main character ..what more can you ask of an author?

Maria in the Moon by Louise Beech | Waterstones

Catherine has an exceptional memory but for some reason, she can’t remember a single thing about the year when she was nine years old. When she loses her home to a flood, she volunteers at a Flood Crisis Line and bit by bit, things will start to fall into place that will ultimately reveal a devastating memory. Maria In The Moon centres around the floods that hit Hull, the author’s hometown…well city. But it’s not about the floods in the main. It’s about Catherine, a woman who can’t stop listening to other people’s problems. She’s drawn to care-lines when she has her own relationships that need sorting out. Beech’s exploration of the effects of childhood trauma keeps the reader intrigued until the end’ Mary Ellen Quinn, BooklistFor more on this, read our tutorial on how to observe the Moon, or our beginners' guide to stargazing with binoculars. This was a dark, moving story that showed the reader what memories can often do to one who has been hurt and find a way to protect oneself from things that have so wounded our body, mind, and soul.
