Friday Finds: The Pull of the Moon

Friday Finds is hosted by Should Be Reading. Here’s my one find:

The Pull of the Moon by Elizabeth Berg

Here’s the blurb from Barnes and Noble:

Uncomfortable with the fit of her life, now that she’s in the middle of it, Nan gets into her car and just goes—driving across the country on back roads, following the moon; and stopping to talk to people. Through conversations with women, men, with her husband through letters, and with herself through her diary, Nan confronts topics long overdue for her attention. She writes to her husband and says things she’s never admitted before; and she discovers how the fabric of her life can be reshaped into a more authentic creation.

Look everyone!! It’s not a dark and depressing cover! I’ve broken a four month cycle of darkness. Okay, well…she does run away from home and I’ve been reading a lot of those books lately too (4 in the past 4 months) but I’m not sure what that means.

I saw this one on NPR and it’s actually been out for a really long time but I’ve never read a Berg novel. I really enjoy stories about self-discovery. Has anyone read it?

  1. I’ve been hearing a lot of stuff about Berg… I think she’s got a recently-released hardback out. Good find.

  2. I have enjoyed every Elizabeth Berg novel I have ever read. My favorite is Talk Before Sleep.

    Happy Reading!

  3. Wow, that’s a beautiful cover! I have a feeling I may have read this book (many moons ago!), but I don’t remember it very well…

  4. I just put this on my TBR pile but forgot to add it to my list. It looks really cool
    happy friday! 🙂

  5. The only Berg I’ve read is Talk Before Sleep and I think perhaps I was too young to appreciate it fully. I still think of her as someone I enjoy though, even though I’ve only read the one and it was a long time ago. Funny how that works.

  6. I love the cover! I recently read and enjoyed THE YEAR OF PLEASURES. I think I’d like this one, too.

  7. Sounds like a good read!

  8. The cover is very appealing. I’ve never read Elizabeth Berg but every thing I have read about her books is always good.

  9. I love the cover. I haven’t read any Berg, either. Maybe we should all read it and have a virtual book club discussion.

  10. I am a huge fan of Elizabeth Berg but have not read this one. I love the bright and cheery cover! My favorite Berg book is Year of Pleasure. I just picked up her newest book Home Safe from the library yesterday. I can’t wait to read it! I hope that you enjoy this book and look forward to hearing your thoughts about it.

  11. That cover is gorgeous!

    I haven't read anything by Elizabeth Berg, but did pick up SAY WHEN at a yard sale a few weeks ago (and my library book sale is Saturday … can't wait to shop there!)
