Galway, 1820s. A young woman follows an ancient call—into the sea, into the Otherworld, and into herself.
Morrigan Lane has always felt the pull of something beyond the life her village has mapped out for her. She dreams of captaining boats on the wild Atlantic, of breaking free from the fierce expectations placed on women in 1820s Ireland. But when a haunting vision of the Irish sea god Manannán mac Lir draws her toward the water one dark night, Morrigan’s restlessness becomes something far older and stranger than ambition.
Tracing the path of her great-grandmother through Celtic tradition, family secrets, and the shifting boundary between myth and memory, Morrigan discovers that her gifts of healing are not only real—they are needed. And claiming them will cost her everything she thought she wanted.
Structured around the phases of the moon, A Moon in All Things weaves historical fiction, Celtic mythology, and magical realism into a lyrical, atmospheric novel about love, courage, and one woman’s awakening in a landscape where the Otherworld is never far.

Author Jennifer Comeau’s Debut Historical Novel” – April 22, 2025
“As I read the final words of the story, a sob rose up in my chest, and I cried for a good long time … out of joy for what Morrigan was remembering about her true Self and out of grief for what so many women have forgotten that the world now needs.”
—Kathe Schaff, founder of Women of Spirit and Faith
“Morrigan discovers that healing the village is not about patching wounds or solving everyone’s issues. Her real work is to mend the broken threads of connection simply by how she moves through the world.”
—Melanie Britz, author, soul specialist, and Akashic Records guide
“A Moon in All Things reminds me of The Alchemist. It seems as mystical and wisdom-filled as that.”
—Dr. Denise Nicholson, Bold Book of the Day
“Atmospheric and beguiling … Comeau uses the Irish setting … and tales of the Otherworld and Tuatha dé Danann to craft an ethereal, fablelike narrative. Morrigan, friends, family, and fellow villagers come alive … fitting perfectly into the picturesque village … Morrigan’s frustration with the imposed limits on her gender adds a fascinating dimension to the spooky tale.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Comeau delivers a beautifully crafted historical fantasy infused with lyricism and Celtic magic. The heroine’s viewpoint is consistently engrossing, allowing readers full access to her internal life, as well as a vicarious connection to the natural world that so informs her character.”
—Booklife Prize
“Atmospheric, subtle, and captivating.”
—Foreword Reviews, Clarion
