From the publisher:

Planting a cactus garden around his mobile home where he can star-gaze and practise yoga, Theobald Moon provides a haven of security for his small daughterJosie, weaving about her a gossamer web of fairy stories and belief in an ordered universe. But there is a terrible secret at the hear of this novel, a mystery that propels the brilliantly constructed narrative between the Arizona desert and snowbound Slovakia, where an ice-cream seller and a shoe-factory worker meet and fall in love.

Carole's comment:

Can't wait to read this - Amazon says " Bold witty, questing, vividly evocative of time and place, Sunset Over Chocolate Mountains is a sparklingly original debut by an exceptional new novelist."
