Botanist Alfred Homer, ever hopeful and constantly surprised, is invited on a road trip by his parents’ friend, Professor Morgan Bruno, who wants company as he tries to unearth the story of the mysterious poet John Skennen. But this is no ordinary road trip. Alfred and the Professor encounter towns where Black residents speak only in sign language and towns that hold indigenous parades; it is a land of house burnings, werewolves, and witches.

Days by Moonlight is a Dantesque journey taken during the “hour of the wolf”, that time of day when the sun is setting and the traveller can’t tell the difference between dog and wolf. And it asks that perpetual question: how do we know the things we know are real, and what is real anyway?

Critic reviews

“Alexis handles the material with a skill and adroitness readers have come to expect from him, along with a subtextual complexity that belies the straightforwardness of the surface narrative.” (Toronto Star)

“A great novel doesn’t try to answer questions, but, like Days by Moonlight, complicates them. It’s for the reader to puzzle over.” (The Globe and Mail)

A wonderful story about love lost and grief. I thoroughly enjoyed each characters journey, the realism, and the magical world the author created. Highly recommend!

This is an imaginative and pleasant journey that takes twists and turns I didn't expect. I felt I knew the characters and could really envision the places they had been. All of Andre Alexis's books really make me think, and think on of themes that are practical and applicable in my life. I have come to regard this ability as a special gift of the author. I hope he keeps writing.

Great
