Summary
A woman in her thirties is released from prison, with a new name and not much else. She begins to make a fresh start but the present is soon invaded by fragments from her past.
Unsettling, hallucinatory and without precedent, Mountains of the Moon is the tragic account of a broken life, but, against all expectation, it amounts to something utterly beautiful.

Reviews
A beautiful, strange novel about drab, dangerous lives. Kay's imagination is exuberant, her language musical and her narrative both fantastically intricate and structurally sound
