The Palace of the Moon

A ramshackle dance hall and a balmy spring night lie at the heart of a secret that puzzles Cara Collins when she returns to her hometown to bury her mother. Four women - two girlfriends, one wife and a daughter - are caught up in the tangled web that spins around bootlegger businessman Len Collins. In pursuit of the answers to her questions, Cara uncovers the details of her parents’ extraordinary lives and discovers friendships that have lasted a lifetime. Covering the post-war period of the 1950’s to the globalization of the 1990’s, the story weaves through the close-knit community and spectacular natural beauty of Prince Edward County, Ontario.
