Songs to an Ancient Moon Anna J Devore

Ellen de Soto is the daughter of a prominent Astronomy professor at the University of New Mexico. Or is she? One morning she awakens with no knowledge of her current surroundings claiming to be Mouia, a Celtic maiden from Roman Britain. Her horrified mother commits her to a local mental institution where Dr. Neil Gordon takes an interest in her case. More and more fascinated, Neil becomes entangled in a web of deceit, betrayal and despair that finally destroys him. Set in Mid-20th Century Albuquerque, New Mexico and 2nd Century Roman Britain, 'Mouia's tales will enchant the reader while Ellen's dilemma will break hearts. Artwork scattered through the book draws the reader further into Mouia's world. Although Songs to an Ancient Moon confronts issues of identity, love, loyalty and integrity, it works quite well as a romance, fantasy and adventure. The sex scenes are muted sufficiently at to make it appropriate for young adults as well.
