The Oceanography of the Moon is the latest book from Glendy Vanderah. “After the deaths of her mother and aunt, young Riley Mays moves from Chicago to rural Wisconsin to live with her cousins on their farm. She’s hiding a terrible secret in her memories of exploring the seas of the moon. Vaughn Orr is a famous author. He has writer’s block and heads to Wisconsin to find a place to clear his head. He also has a terrible secret. When their paths cross there is a pull between them. They must find a way to let go of their secrets for there to be any future. But some secrets may not be forgivable…” Lots of the wonderful writing we’ve come to expect from Venderah. The last third of this book feels almost like a thriller with all of the unexpected connections. And there are plenty of surprises. Lots of “Wait…What?!?” moments. There is a lot of climate change discussion that borders on preachy. The author is passionate about it so the characters are also. This book is about the weight of secrets, forgiveness and the importance of family. Venderah’s characters carry some terrible burdens but there’s hope in the end. More great fiction from Vanderah. Great pick for a mountain hammock read. #theoceanographyofthemoon #glendyvenderah #contemporaryfiction #climatefiction #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #readersofig #bookreview #bookwormlife #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/CbXWfUYr5qy/?utm_medium=tumblr
