Frey, Peoria Public Library, Ill.Ĭopyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. This is a hauntingly poetic tale, bittersweet in its ending, and very thought provoking. In this tightly written novel, Lawrence has interwoven myths about the moon, a theory of astral evolution, social criticism, and a character undergoing adolescent hardships. Against all physical instincts, Gareth comes to her aid by repairing the ship's stabilizer, and after experiencing the lunar "syndrome" he wrote his essay on, he decides to shed his physical being and join the lovely Bethkahn in her journey to the stars. Her only hope is to repair her ship with the help of a human. A counterpoint to the story of Gareth and Karen is the desperate struggle of Bethkahn, an astral being who has been stranded on the moon for 10,000 years.
