Maria in the Moon | Louise Beech

2 posts | 5 read | 5 to read

Long ago my beloved Nanny Eve chose my name. Then one day she stopped calling me it. I try now to remember why, but I just can't.' Thirty-two-year-old Catherine Hope has a great memory. But she can't remember everything. She can't remember her ninth year. She can't remember when her insomnia started. And she can't remember why everyone stopped calling her Catherine-Maria. With a promiscuous past, and licking her wounds after a painful breakup, Catherine wonders why she resists anything approaching real love. But when she loses her home to the devastating deluge of 2007 and volunteers at Flood Crisis, a devastating memory emerges ... and changes everything. Dark, poignant and deeply moving, Maria in the Moon is an examination of the nature of memory and truth, and the defences we build to protect ourselves, when we can no longer hide...

A name changes. It can change as you grow from baby to adult. It can change with milestones in life such as marriage or out of meanness or just because. Sometimes it changes your perception of who you or others are. Catherine can't remember her ninth year, trusts almost no-one & is destructive. She can't remember a name or why she suddenly was no longer Catherine Marie. Complex, tragic, scary, sometimes funny & hopeful is Maria in the Moon.
