THE BOY IN THE MOON; Cover of the NYT BR
The upcoming NYT BR features a title on the cover that has not been ordered heavily by libraries. The Boy in the Moon by Ian Brown (St. Martins) is a father’s account of raising his severely disabled son. The book was reviewed prepub by Kirkus and PW, both admiringly, but no stars.
The NYT reviewer is Roger Rosenblatt, who also wrote movingly about dealing with his own family tragedy, his daughter’s death and helping to raise her young children in a memoir, Making Toast.
