Metapsychology Online Book Reviews - Sue Terry

Forgive the Moon by Maryanne Stahl is an exquisite novel. The characters and setting are as beautiful as they are real. Like the light of the moon dancing on the ocean waves at night, this novel is liberally sprinkled with nature’s own brilliant gems. This is a book to read again and again. Buy two copies – one to share and one to keep, because like true love this book is a treasure that will never be far from your heart. Need I say it? I HIGHLY recommend this book.

In Posse Review - Andrew Nicoll

In recent years Maryanne Stahl has built up an enviable reputation as the author of carefully layered short stories and brilliant, lucid flash fiction. With Forgive the Moon she proves that she can sustain that gift for the duration of a fulll length novel.

Publishers Weekly

Every year, Amanda Kincaid vacations on Long Island with her extended family. She's there again this year at the start of Maryanne Stahl's thoughtful if belabored novel Forgive the Moon, but things are different: her mother is dead, her husband has stayed at home in Atlanta and her college-age daughter is living with her boyfriend in Boston. Only her 10-year-old son, Damien, is still by her side as she mulls over her rocky relationship with her husband and her memories of her schizophrenic mother. A romance with a local doctor provides a bit of relief, but Stahl doesn't let her protagonist slip into an easy happy ending. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
