Daughters of the Moon
Joan Haggerty
Set in Spain and England, Daughters of the Moon is a novel told from the point of view of a woman in labour. It begins with the first contraction and ends with the birth. Each contraction expands the protagonist’s consciousness into the realm of touch and memory; the story unfolds in shifting dimensions of time and space as she re-lives the moments that bring the arrival of her daughter. Opening Sentences: ‘Later that evening, Anna left by the same door, the weighted hinges dragging it closed behind her. Ibiza again, bare feet in white dust. She was back, back from Paris where she’d been searching to forget the Balearic Islands. Things had changed. She looked at the new apartments, card houses about to fold on the parched hills of Figueretes.’
