Synopsis

‘A beautiful exploration of family, love and loss across the generations. Fresh, fun… I didn’t want it to end.’ Gemma Chan

How far would you travel to find a love lost in time?
1927, East London. The first time Tommy and Peggy meet, they are nine years old. He is lost in London’s original Chinatown, panicking as he struggles to escape the tangle of Limehouse streets, with their road signs in Chinese characters that he can’t decipher.

‘Where do you come from?’ Peggy asks him.

For Tommy, the answer to that question can never be straightforward, because his family share a secret gift- they can travel through time. And each must eventually decide how much the present day means to them, and how far they are willing to travel to hold onto the people they love.

Heartfelt and hopeful, weaving through decades and across continents, The Moon Represents My Heart is an unforgettable debut about one extraordinary family, the gift that threatens to tear them apart and the love that binds them together.
‘An immediately compelling, unusual story with a totally fresh voice.’ Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne
