Rhoda Rabinowitz-Green's Moon Over Mandalay, a light-hearted battle of the sexes, plays out against a backdrop of the just-passed sixties, the pervasive whiff of marijuana and sounds of The Beatles, The Who, the Grateful Dead. About the pursuit of one’s dreams, love and romance, Moon Over Mandalay allows us a deliciously funny, yet forgiving, peek at our human follies.
Recommends:
"Moon Over Mandalay is a rare gem, a deft social satire that’s also a moving tale of love and self-discovery. April Blume’s adventures in communal living—the countercultural sixties brought back to life in all their idealistic silliness—contrast tellingly, and often hilariously, with her job teaching the unruly students at a rural Indiana school. But it’s the funny, sexy and touching love affair at the heart of this fine first novel that will stay with you long after your laughter has faded."

"I have been immensely impressed with the intelligence and subtlety of Rhoda Rabinowitz-Green's work. I do urge that her work be given a serious reading. I can guarantee it will be worth your while."

"A beautifully written slice of life, Moon over Mandalay is staged against a bohemian backdrop as a varied group of players share a house and each other’s lives. A tango of emotions ebb and swell while they grapple with finding love versus finding oneself. Moon over Mandalay is reminiscent of an alternative prequel to The Big Chill, in which the characters all met at The Ménage instead of in college. Will there be a reunion in their future?"
— Tanya Lee Stone, Author of A Bad Boy Can Be Good for a Girl
