Book Overview

***2022 PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND BOOK AWARD: FICTION - SHORTLIST***

A haunting and evocative exploration of the meaning of family and home.

Ingrid and Norah have an unconventional upbringing--growing up in a motel, raised by their mother and her female partner. The girls' grandmother, Ada, who owns the Blue Moth, has always kept them at a distance. But when she buys a piano for the motel, that all changes. Years later in England, training to be a soloist, Ingrid loses her voice and must decide what to do. She hears from Norah, who's reviving a party that began during their childhood to celebrate the arrival of mysterious and elusive blue moths. The Blue Moth Motel deals with family dynamics, grief, and the concept of home.
