Hang The Moon

Beskrivelse

Set in Prohibition-era Virginia, Hang the Moon follows Sallie Kincaid, a determined young woman who refuses to be underestimated. Born into privilege but facing family challenges, Sallie fights to reclaim her place and prove her worth.

A gripping tale of resilience and family dynamics in early 20th-century America.

Jeannette Walls, bestselling author of The Glass Castle, delivers a powerful new novel centered on Sallie Kincaid, the daughter of Duke Kincaid, the most influential man in their small town. Raised in comfort at the turn of the century, Sallie’s early life is marked by tragedy when her mother dies during a violent quarrel with her father.

By the time Sallie is eight, Duke has remarried and has a son named Eddie. While Sallie is sharp and daring, Eddie is more timid and thoughtful, shaped by his mother’s influence. Sallie’s attempts to toughen Eddie up with bold lessons lead to an accident, resulting in her exile from the family.

After nine years away, Sallie returns with a fierce determination to reclaim her rightful place and prove she is more than what others believe. This epic story captures the spirit of a changing South during Prohibition, told with elegant prose that brings Sallie’s world vividly to life.
