Reading "The Pull of the Moon" is like sitting down for a long, satisfying chat with a best girlfriend . [It] pleasantly encourages readers to recover a little life-embracing enthusiasm themselves. "Orlando Sentinel" In the middle of her life, Nan decides to leave her husband at home and begin an impromptu trek across the country, carrying with her a turquoise leather journal she intends to fill. "The Pull of the Moon" is a novel about a woman coming to terms with issues of importance to all women. In her journal, Nan addresses the thorniness and the allure of marriage, the sweet ties to children, and the gifts and lessons that come from random encounters with strangers, including a handsome man appearing out of the woods and a lonely housewife sitting on her front porch steps. Most of all, Nan writes about the need for the self to stay alive. In this luminous and exquisitely written novel, Elizabeth Berg shows how sometimes you have to leave your life behind in order to find it. This is not a novel about a woman leaving home but rather about a human being finding her way back. "Chicago Tribune" When was the last time you thought about running away? . In "The Pull of the Moon," Berg shares her strength, the wonderful widening of her soul so that we, too, can take the journey in the ease of our chair.

A woman's emotional journey to find herself again!
I really loved this book! It had the elements of a good love story with the biting reality of the troubles and conflicts we all face in our lives.
It's an emotional journey of a woman who suddenly finds herself with an empty nest and with the quiet that it brings she is able to truly examine her life for the first time in a long time. She finds herself unsatisfied in many ways (especially with her husband of many years) and unsure of the role she must now play in everyone's life, especially her own.
Thus begins her emotional journey to heal her heart and to begin again! A really great read for anyone but especially for those faced with an empty nest of their own!!
