Ms. Moore's intriguing novel, Racing On A Wire, is a moving, thought-provoking, and unusual love story that will haunt me for a long time. The author writes with authority and passion, with well-developed characters, great prose, and few errors in this scary psychological mystery told in first person.Moore's writing style is, in my opinion, stream-of-consciousness. The story flows beautifully, revealing details of a woman's experience with emotional and psychological trauma so horrific that her life threatens to become one big fantasy in order to hide it. The reader follows the main character, Virginia (Lucky), as she digs deeply into her subconscious to recall the incestuous relationship that drives her to the brink of suicide.I could not put this book down, and although I found the surprise ending somewhat chilling and disappointing, I was nevertheless hopeful that Lucky will grow stronger as she continues healing.
