A romantic comedy, Moon Over Mandalay is set in the heart of rural mid-Western America during the early seventies. It is a light-hearted battle of the sexes, played 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.

Says Rick Archbold, author and award-winning editor, "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.”
