'It was the summer that men first walked on the moon. I was very young
back then, but did not believe there would ever be a future. I wanted
to live dangerously, to push myself as far as I could go, and then see
what happened when I got there.'
So begins the mesmerising narrative of Marco Stanley Fogg - orphan,
child of the 1960s, a quester by nature. _Moon Palace_ is his story -
a novel that spans three generations, from the early years of this
century to the first lunar landings, and moves from the canyons of
Manhattan to the cruelly beautiful landscape of the American West.
Filled with suspense, unlikely coincidences, wrenching tragedies and
marvellous flights of lyricism and erudition, the novel carries the
reader effortlessly along with Marco's search - for love, for his
unknown father, and for the key to the elusive riddle of his origins
and his fate.
