Moon Goddess
By Niti Sampat Patel

Moon Goddess is an epic novel that spans India, USA and Lebanon. Echoing the structure of T.S.Eliot's The Waste Land it chronicles the lives of several generations of women and examines the nature of memory and violence as characters attempt to reconstruct the past. This complex, and spell binding saga with intertwining stories of love, loss and subterfuge with both disruptive and healing characteristics; uses myth, quotations, prophecy, fact, and fiction to tell a compelling tale of fate and chance, personal choice and public intrigue.

"...an exhilarating and seductive book that carries the reader along on an unforgettable journey..." -- Cynthia Stamy, authot of Marianne Moore and China: Orientalism and a Writing of America

"Though the narrative is easy to read and evocative, the subject which it tackles is a complex one -- at its centre the nature of memory and the fine line we tread between fact and fiction as we try to reconstruct the past. ...an intriguing and satisfying novel." -- Simon Brett, O.B.E., F.R.S.L.
