The Day of the Moon

Fiction. Stark and resonant . . . Ms. Limon's prose is a self-assured and engrossing -- New York Times Book Review. In a dramatic new work, novelist Graciela Limon tells a story of forbidden loves: A tale that spans across the twentieth century, across the Southwest from Mexico to Los Angeles, across skin colors, across the sexes, across religious boundaries, across life and death, and across four generations of a family named Betancourt.
