The Moon Pool
by
Sophie Littlefield
North Dakota is like nowhere Colleen has ever seen. Vast plains of silver snow, studded with shimmering black pools, lit by flares of orange light.
This is the landscape that swallowed her son.
Across town, another mother also searches for her missing boy. He too disappeared from the oilfields where he worked. And no-one seems to care that he is gone.
These two women must work together to find their sons. But what they discover might destroy them both...
I listened to the audio version of The Moon Pool, which was brought beautifully to life by narrator, Laurence Bouvard. The story of two mothers from very different backgrounds, drawn together to search for their missing sons was compelling, moving, and utterly convincing.
There's a back-story about corporation conspiracy, corruption, and cover-ups, but at its heart the book is about family, friendship, and what it means to be a mother.
On the strength of this excellent book, I'll be reading more of Sophie Littlefield's work.
