To the Moon and Back

Ramage will break your heart and take you to the stars.

Kiley Reid, author of Such A Fun Age

Bittersweet, thrillingly perceptive, multi-threaded, enormously funny... a powerful story about the mixture of combativeness, compromise and love that forms the heart of a family.

Kaliane Bradley, author of The Ministry of Time

An epic, enthralling and deeply humane novel of family bonds, belonging and the relentless pursuit of one's dream, that will make you laugh and cry along the way. Eliana Ramage is a formidable talent, and writes with so much heart and hope: I loved it.

Ceclie Pin, author of Wandering Souls

A story of decisions; right, wrong and everything in between, To the Moon and Back explores love and ambition and all its complicated messiness. With characters so perfectly rendered that you’ll want to hug them or give them a shake, Eliana Ramage explores what it means to belong in this immersive and exciting debut.

Amanda Peters, author of The Berry Pickers

To the Moon and Back is a passionate and compulsively readable novel. Dare I say, a stellar debut.

Margot Livesey, author of The Road to Belhaven

A soaring masterpiece that mixes the terror, care, betrayal, and death-defying love of family with deliciously abject lesbian drama and the beautifully self-destructive doggedness of possessing a singular dream. Every character in this novel will stay with you forever. I love this book.

Casey Plett, author of A Dream of a Woman

Eliana Ramage's To the Moon and Back is a captivating debut about family, queer identity, love, career and heritage. This novel has something for everyone.

De'Shawn Charles Winslow, author of In West Mills

To The Moon and Back simply soars. Eliana Ramage has given us a brilliant, faceted, warm-hearted novel, with characters to love and truly root for, and pages that seem to turn themselves.

Sarah Thankam Mathews, author of the National Book Award Finalist All This Could Be Different

This author is as ambitious as her protagonist: there are three novels worth of material here, all good. The moon or bust!
