<p class="book_description"><b>Winner of the 2015 City of Victoria Butler Book Prize<br />A <i>Globe and Mail</i> top 100 pick for 2014<br />Winner of a 2015 Independent Publisher Book Award Bronze Medal</b></p><p class="book_description"><i><b>Twelve short stories that examine what happens in the lives of characters who discover shocking truths about the people they thought they knew best.</i></b></p><p class="book_description">Whether set in a cottage or a Montreal market, a graveyard or a backyard, these stories transport you into the lives of people you&#8217;ll recognize. Your neighbours may not want to make squirrels into pets or sell you a piece of the moon. Your son may not be asked to donate sperm to his girlfriend&#8217;s mother. Your sister may not want you to bring a dead cat across the border. You may not have an imaginary husband, a secret brother, or a friend who has turned to murder in a custody battle. But in each of these stories, people are trying to figure out how to live in a world that doesn&#8217;t always seem hospitable.</p><p class="book_description">With her keen poet&#8217;s eye, Julie Paul examines human nature and animal instinct, as the characters in <i>The Pull of the Moon</i> try to negotiate their impulses and desires. Ultimately, they want what most of us want: connection, belonging, love, and forgiveness.</p>
