Moon Road by Sarah Leipciger

A road trip, divorced parents, a long-missing child, the discovery of bones and everything that has happened up to this point. The descriptions of landscape are as vivid and real as the tender, but tough relationship between Kathleen and Yannick. Hopeful, unique and perfectly paced. I adored it.

From the back

It’s irksome to her, how well she knows this man, how much he has changed and how exactly the same he is ...

Kathleen and Yannick have not spoken for nineteen years, not since what happened with their daughter.

Now, there’s unexpected news from the other side of the country, and the call for a road trip they can only make together.

As they rattle over two thousand miles in a pick-up, through forests, over mountains and into service stations, an alluring history reveals itself: of fierce love, complicated ex-wives and headstrong children, and of a unique bond that never really went away.

As they drive, argue, gossip and reminisce, an unexpected future for this once estranged couple begins to emerge.
