I loved this book. It reminded me a little of another of my favorites, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven." It also reminded me of my brother who died a couple of years ago. He would have loved this book too.The writing in "Remember the Moon" is absolutely top-class - I couldn't find a single false note.My favorite lines are right at the start:"I witnessed a unique clarity of light, like sunlight refracted through a diamond. For an instant, instead of being blinded by the light, my vision was clearer than it had ever been."The title is inspired by this quotation:“The moon, like you, is far away from me, but it's our sole memento: if you look and recall our past through it, we can be one mind.” —Saigo, Awesome NightfallAnd here's another classic line:"Maya squirted my wound with water from her water bottle, causing a dusty, bloody mess to run onto my sock and shoe."A must-read book. Highly recommended.(I downloaded a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.)
