Samsara Moon S.H. Post Kirk House Publishers ISBN: 1-886513-97-X Fiction, Historical Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

The title Samsara Moon refers to the full moon. The full moon is a symbol of renewal, the beginning of the cycle of all the various phases of the moon that are to follow. With that in mind, I believe Samsara Moon is an apt title for this book.

Samsara Moon begins with the story of Captain Stephen Hamilton, a military man from the Queen’s cavalry. Hamilton has dreamed of being in the military and going to India since he was a child listening to his grandfather’s military tales. He fulfils his dream and on a trip back to England meets Katherine Grey, the opinionated passion filled beauty woman who captures the military man’s heart.

At this point, barely into the first chapter of the book, I thought that Samsara Moon was going to be a beautiful historical love story about the young couple. It was for a few condensed very fast paced pages and then the unthinkable happened, Katherine died leaving behind two children and an utterly broken husband.

What followed in the wake of this tragedy is heart breaking, genuinely realistic, and so filled with hope that I was filled with a myriad of emotion as I followed the journey of Captain Stephen Hamilton.
