Why read it?

1 author picked Water Moon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is strange and beautiful. It was a surprising book that unfolded like poetry. I didn't always understand what was happening, but I couldn't put it down either. I had no idea what to expect during the entire book, and even though it's not a mystery, it kept me on edge because of it. In many ways, it was like a beautiful dream during a refreshing sleep.

I highly recommend this book to people who like strange and dreamlike stories.
