"A stunning novel. Ambitious and exquisitely realized . . . clearly the work of a major new talent." —S. J. Watson, New York Times bestselling author of Before I Go to Sleep
While on vacation with their parents, Matthew Homes and his older brother snuck out in the middle of the night. Only Matthew came home safely. Ten years later, Matthew tells us, he has found a way to bring his brother back...
What begins as the story of a lost boy turns into a story of a brave man yearning to understand what happened that night, in the years since, and to his very person. Unafraid to look at the shadows of our hearts, Nathan Filer's rare and brilliant debut Where the Moon Isn't shows us the strength that is rooted in resilience and love.

Puts you there
This book puts you in the mind of someone who experienced trauma and mental health challenges. Very clever, very insightful!
None
Absolutely wonderful. I was totally enchanted with Matthew. I often have a little trouble with the continuity of a story when it goes back and forth in time, but did not with this. First book I've read in years actually, and I'm so glad I picked this one.
