New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice transports listeners across the sea in this moving, magical tale of a lonely woman with a promise to keep. Spurred by her mother’s dying wish, Susannah Connolly has traveled from her lifelong home on the Connecticut shoreline to the fabled French Camargue, to see its famous white horses and find a mysterious saint linked to her family’s history. An accomplished anthropologist, Susannah has always been confident of her ability to navigate anywhere on the globe. But in the wake of a failed love affair and grieving the loss of her mother, she is adrift and uncertain. American-born Grey Dempsey had come to the Camargue as a journalist, fell in love with a celebrated Romany rider, and suffered a devastating loss of his own. Now he operates a ranch as he struggles to raise his spirited but troubled young daughter, who now fears the horses she once loved. Within their bittersweet private orbit, Susannah Connolly will find a part of herself she hadn’t known she had lost. And here she will find herself embraced by a circle of strong and passionate women bound together by their abiding faith in the legendary slave-saint Susannah seeks and in the miracles she is said to still perform. Yet old secrets swirl within the fog-shrouded landscape, betrayals that may be beyond the power of any saint, or supplicant, to repair.

" I had a hard time getting into the first few pages, but after the initial slow time, I could have read the rest straight through. Love the characters. Would love a sequel. "
" I loved this book. It starts with two brothers being injected with some mystery syringe by some random guy, and ends with... Well the ending is one of the best "origin stories" I've ever read. "
" Too bad it took until page 300 before the story got interesting. Be ready for a ride. Twists and turns are good. "
" Some swearing, no sex. A very intriguing book. I'm glad I read it--not all of his stuff is mind-numbingly scary. "

" Suspenseful without being bloody or offensive. "
" An okay storyline but he does too much philosophizing. "
" By The Light of The Moon was a decent read with a good concept behind it. I think it lacked some of the substance and creativity that I have come to expect from Koontz and left a few holes that would have better been filled. All in all, it's a well-written and smooth read. "
