The Moon in Deep Winter

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

It was choosing a book for someone else that prevented me from signing up in February. For March, I decided that choosing a book for someone else was where I would be stretching the boundaries of my comfort zone.  Wink

I have to admit I almost didn't sign up because I was uncomfortable with choosing a book for someone.  I did though want someone to choose one for me Smiley.  I did manage to overcome my reluctance and was glad I did Smiley 

I am looking forward to my March read, but have no idea yet what I may recommend!

I feel the same way!  I am scared to pick for someone else.  Smiley

I was feeling the same way at first, but then I decided that this is part of fun of this reading game.  If I don't like the book it is only one book and the upside is I may get a new book that I completely love.  That made me optimistic that the book I pick will be the same for my recipient.

It looks like I'm in good company.  I was afraid I would pick something the person hated.  I want to be challenged so even if I don't like the book I get, at least I tried something new.
