About this audiobook
Vast rolling plains of silvery snow, studded with shimmering black pools. A landscape both beautiful and terrible. The landscape that swallowed Colleen's son. Across town another mother searches for her missing boy. He too went missing from the oilfields where he worked. Alone, these two women will never find out the truth. But if they team up, then maybe this freezing wilderness will give them back their sons.

Reviews for The Moon Pool

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was not the sort of fiction that normally appeals to me - two women each have a late-teenage son who has gone missing from their first jobs in a remote oil town in North Dakota and must work together to find out what has happened - as it smacked of touchy-feely girly-stuff. However, the reviews were consistently good, so I gave it a go.What a revelation! Sophie Littlewood has produced a minor masterpiece of tension, raw emotion and thriller-level suspense. We get to see these two very different women gripped by a shared love of their sons and a powerful need to find out what has happened to them when everyone around them - the police, the oil companies they work for, the local townspeople - tries, for various reasons of their own, to ignore these disappearances. The desperate need in each of these women to find and protect their children is portrayed as a relentless all-consuming love that absolutely will not stop, even as they recognise the harm it is doing to them physically, emotionally and to their relationships back home.Our opinions of these women and the impressions we form of their lives are driven by our own prejudices and manipulated well by Littlefield. As the novel progresses we find our responses to each subtly shifting until we recognise that neither woman is wholly likeable or wholly despicable. They are just people.
