Meet Marya - a strong and clever but mostly unnoticed, 17 year old, who lives with her closed-down brother, Evan, 16, and hard-working, newly-separated mum, in busy South London. When an outburst by Evan proves he's watching hardcore porn, alarm bells ring. Leaving the cat with the lodger, Mum gathers up her family and takes them on an unusual and apparently innocent summer trip to Spain. An eco-community of all places. Not Marya and Evan's idea of fun because Arcadia's wifi can't be trusted and there's no escape from the heat of the natural world.
What Marya and Evan don't know is they aren't there to experience the challenges of a vegan diet and compost toilets but to learn from Blake and Sharrow; an ex-porn addict and ex-porn victim.
When the layers of illusion fall away, family ties are tested.
What will their new-found freedom and friendships lead to?
Will they succumb to love among the summer heat, sparkling lake and billions of stars?
The Whole Of The Moon shines a light on the loss of control, fear, sadness, anger and shame swimming around the bloodstream of young people as a result of pornography.
This one-of-a-kind family novel will keep you hooked from the first page.
