Pack Up The Moon




A heart-breaking, warm and funny story about love, loss and starting again

What if your boyfriend died right in front of you?

It was a night of laughter and celebration. But when John dies in a dreadful accident, his girlfriend Emma is plunged into despair. She loved John more than life itself - and now death has taken him from her. She feels nothing, she has lost everything, her world spins out of control.

Or so she thinks. For Emma has friends - good friends who rally around. But the shocking memory of that night returns to haunt each of them in different and trying ways.

And Emma knows that if she is ever to laugh at life again, or find love she once had, she will have to let go of the man she thought she couldn't live without. She must let go and trust her heart.

About the author

Anna McPartlin

Anna McPartlin is a novelist and scriptwriter. Her previous incarnation as a stand-up comedian left an indelible mark. She describes herself as a slave to the joke and finds humour and humanity in even the darkest situations. Anna lives in Wicklow with her husband and animals.

Anna McPartlin's experience of losing her parents at a young age has given her a profound understanding of loss, surviving it, and making the very best of life. Before becoming a full-time writer Anna was, amongst other things, a stand-up comedian and a claims adjuster. As well as writing novels, she also writes TV comedy drama. She is in her mid-thirties and lives just outside Dublin with her husband.
