Rated 5 starsOne of my favorites
The Moon Women will linger in your memory, at least it has in mine. Their characters are well represented and familiar. The whole book was written in a deep south, mountain accent which makes it more realistic of small town life in that area. A good read, in my opinion.

Rated 5 starsA wonderful jouney of women in the South!
Pamela Duncan has written a beautiful debut novel. Her characters are three-dimensional and their names only begin to tell the story. This book is filled with metaphors and thought provoking moments.

"Moon Women" is a joyous read, used for engaging discussion at my book club meeting. A wonderful book!!!

Was I going to read another book about southern women who were outspoken and cranky in public, drank too much bourbon in the moonlight, and were pious towards God, country, and men? Nope. Not this time. The Moon women (their last name) are much more than some stereotype...

Rated 5 starsNot Just for Women
The author spends a great amount of time developing the characters in this book and I thank her for it. Now, the Moon women are friends of mine too. These folks live, as most of us do, surviving the bad times, savoring and remembering the good times, and always looking forward with anxiety and hope for the times to come. Most people who read this book will look at Ms. Duncan's creations and see pieces of themselves or their...
