Publisher's Summary:
The author of Indiscretion returns with a scorching tale of love, passion, and obsession, about one man's all-consuming desire for a beautiful, bewitching, and beguiling woman.
Since childhood, Wylie Rose has been drawn to the charming, close-knit Bonet siblings. But none affected him more than the enchanting Cesca, a girl blessed with incandescent beauty and a wild, irrepressible spirit.
Growing up, Wylie's friendship with her brother, Aurelio, a budding painter of singular talent, brings him near Cesca's circle. A young woman confident in her charms, Cesca is amused by Wylie's youthful sensuality and trusting innocence. Toying with his devotion, she draws him closer to her fire - ultimately ruining him for any other woman.
Spanning several decades, moving through the worlds of high society, finance, and art, and peopled with poignant characters, Girl in the Moonlight takes us on a whirlwind tour, from the wooded cottages of old East Hampton to the dining rooms of Upper East Side Manhattan to the bohemian art studios of Paris and Barcelona. As he vividly brings to life Wylie and Cesca's tempestuous, heart-wrenching affair, Charles Dubow probes the devastating depths of human passion and the nature of true love.
Critic Reviews:
"Verner delivers Wylie's longing with just the right amount of youthful ardor and offers Wylie's luminous descriptions of Cesca with a lovely lyricism.... Verner adds luster to Charles Dubow's clear-eyed look at coming-of-age and the nature of obsession." (AudioFile)

First novel better
The narration was was first class. I never connected w/ the characters like in his first novel. The name dropping was not descriptive as much as distracting. The narration carried it overall very sophomoric.
Good if you can make it past the beginning
I struggled to get into this book but since it was for a book club I pushed on and am glad I did. The narrator was a bit dull but after a while you started to see where the story was going and put the narrators voice aside. It got really exciting towards the middle and stayed interesting until thd end. The ending was my favorite because I didn't know which direction the book was going to go. Over all a good summer listen!
