Every once in awhile a special type of book comes along and gets well and truly under my skin, it takes ahold of me, consumes me even and Maria in the Moon was that rare beauty of a book. Louise Beech is an astoundingly gifted writer, reading one of her books is a true honor. NASA explores the unknown in air and space, innovates for the benefit of humanity, and inspires the world through discovery. I don’t know what it is about this authors books but they are so beautifully written that they soak into your being and Maria In The Moon was no different.

Maria in the Moon - Kindle edition by Beech, Louise

This is the story of Catherine Maria... A character you might not find terribly likable she is a bit flippant, a bit aloof, a bit promiscuous.... A damaged soul who has lost pieces of her life and has a hard time sleeping and a hard time staying awake... after her home is ravaged by a flood and she begins working at a flood crisis line Catherine Maria begins to remember... remember the things that made her forget.... a b c d "Mare Fecunditatis". Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature. Astrogeology Science Center . Retrieved 2020-12-26. Lunar maria are the dark topographical features that can be observed on the lunar surface, covering about 15% of the Moon's crust, and which have dazzled astronomers and moon-gazers for centuries. The callers personal stories that phone into the Flood Crisis centre were all moving and touched me. I have to say I really take my hat off to anyone that works in these sort of calls centre trying to give hope to individuals whose lives for them at times is hopeless. There is no way I could leave there at t he end of the day and shut off from the sort of phone calls that they must receive and to a certain extent I could understand Catherine’s insomnia. Volcanism on the Moon is represented by the presence of volcanoes, pyroclastic deposits and vast lava plains on the lunar surface. The volcanoes are typically in the form of small domes and cones that form large volcanic complexes and isolated edifices. Calderas, large-scale collapse features generally formed late in a volcanic eruptive episode, are exceptionally rare on the Moon. Lunar pyroclastic deposits are the result of lava fountain eruptions from volatile-laden basaltic magmas rapidly ascending from deep mantle sources and erupting as a spray of magma, forming tiny glass beads. However, pyroclastic deposits formed by less common non-basaltic explosive eruptions are also thought to exist on the Moon. Lunar lava plains cover large swaths of the Moon's surface and consist mainly of voluminous basaltic flows. They contain a number of volcanic features related to the cooling of lava, including lava tubes, rilles and wrinkle ridges.The lunar maria are impact basins created by collisions with cosmic debris that filled with lava and other lunar material between 1-4 billion years ago. How did the Moon form?

That last twist (the only twist really) was completely unnecessary. I'm not a writer nor do I claim to be but I think the resolution here could of been done better. Not every book needs to have a twist ending.

There are clues to what has caused the damage: why can she not remember anything that happened when she was nine years old? Why is her mother so hostile? We want Catherine to remember, and to find happiness, but when there is a potential love story right in front of her, something real, with a man who is sensitive and genuine, she is too scared to trust it. The parts to do with Catherine and her mother I have to say left me feeling quite distraught. Catherine yearns to be loved by her mother yet her mother has always been stand offish and is not willing to give her daughter the love she so desperately wants and needs. I just wanted to wrap my arms around Catherine to tell her I was there for her as well as giving her mother a hard slap!Ciaccia, Chris (2018). "Life on the Moon?
