As I read Moon Sugar, memories and feelings from my own life and the characters' lives kept surfacing, and then sinking again. Using magic as a form of truth, Meyer has written a story that is at once pure, dark and startling as life itself.’ – Laura McPhee-Browne, author of Cherry Beach‘Moon Sugar evokes a world that is strangely ours and recognisably something else. A wild, genre-bending ride, irradiated by grief.’ – Miles Allinson, author of In Moonland
