IrishPenJen (United Kingdom) (2010/06/18): Description: Racing the Moon is one of the funniest and most ruthlessly honest books about growing up ever to come out of Ireland. This unforgettable novel features Darcy and Sophia who are twin sisters yet complete opposites. Sophia is beautiful, successful and a keeper of secrets. Darcy -- fiery and red-haired -- always meets trouble halfway. Racing the Moon is their story: the story of a generation moving from a cautious convent background to international careers and contact through the Internet. This unique coming-of-age novel explores the experience of awakening sexuality by one of the sisters in an account that is both poignant and outrageous in its frankness. The twins' relationship changes as they live on different continents yet fall for the same man and finally grow closer through business triumph and family tragedy.
