About this book

Moth is a girl sold by her mother who must find her way through Manhattan in 1871 in Ami McKay's historical coming-of-age novel. Raised on Chrystie Street by a fortune-teller struggling to pay the rent, she longs for the father who left during her childhood. Her account begins with the family stories, poverty and uncertain affection that shape her early understanding of home.

About the author

Ami McKay

Scots Bay, on the Nova Scotia shore of the Bay of Fundy, gave Ami McKay the material for her first novel. A house she moved into in 2000 had belonged to a midwife, and the stories attached to it became The Birth House (2006), a Canadian bestseller that took a Libris Award for fiction.
