COMMUNITY REVIEWS

When the Moon is Low submitted by camieroper on August 9, 2019, 12:22pm This is much more interesting than the brief review suggests. The characters are well developed, and the author does a neat trick by showing each character's perspective chapter by chapter, so it is a dynamic story. And the contrast between what the mother thinks is going on, and what the child/son is actually experiencing on his own is huge, and very telling. This is a well-written book, as are all Hashimi's, and well worth the read.
