Dancing in the Light of the Moon

By Matthew S. Friedman

Dancing in the Light of the Moon focuses on four middle-class children from Pune who are displaced and effectively orphaned after their mother and father are murdered by the Mumbai mafia. Over a twelve-year period, they struggle to reclaim their identity following this life-altering tragedy. Through the unrelenting efforts of these children to take control of their lives and destinies, we see the power of resilience.

This novel is a heart-wrenching tale of love, life, overcoming adversity, corruption, and evil, which provides an illuminating glimpse into the murky underworld of organized crime in South Asia. It celebrates the human spirit struggling to endure, against seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Inspired by true events, this story was based on the author Matthew Friedman's interviews with hundreds of people and extensive research carried out in different parts of India over a decade.
