Walking To The Moon – Kate Cole-Adams

“Kate Cole-Adams is a startling new voice in Australian fiction….Walking to the Moon is a novel of breathtaking lyricism and sensuality. The narrative momentum is faultless, charged with gentle rhythms; pulsations, almost, as if it were bodily” – Rebecca Starford theage.com.au July 21 2008

When I stood up, I could not see my mother. She was not on the beach, and when I looked back across the water she was not there either. I asked, or was about to ask, where she had gone when I saw something floating a little way off, not far from the shore. In the icy elongated moment that followed I could neither move nor hear nor speak. A woman wakes from a coma, its cause unknown. She refuses to see her family she does not say why. Slowly, almost reluctantly, she becomes stronger. Now she will walk. Where?

Walking to the Moon, Kate Cole-Adams’ enthralling, seductive first novel is both a psychological journey and a piercing exploration of abandonment and loss. A work of striking subtlety and maturity, it is without doubt the start of something special.
