Description
'Moonglow has a bit of everything: humour, derring-do, shocking reversals of fortune, joy and heartbreak'
Sunday Times
This is the story of an extraordinary life.
Of an engineer, obsessed with space travel. Of a soldier, hunting for Nazi rocket scientists.
Of a young man who met a girl in a taffeta party dress, whose Holocaust experiences and leaking sadness threatened to engulf them both. Of a criminal, sent to jail after trying to strangle a colleague with a telephone cord. Of a widower in a Florida retirement village, with a neighbour whose cat may have eaten, or been eaten by, a python or an alligator. Of a dying man, remembering his story.
Moonglow revisits an entire era through a single life and collapses a lifetime into a single week.
