Description
“Dreamy and mysterious and nearly impossible to pin down.” —Paste Magazine
Sol has disappeared. Their Earth-born wife Lumi sets out to find them but it is no simple feat: each clue uncovers another enigma. Their disappearance leads back to underground environmental groups and a web of mystery that spans the space between the planets themselves.
Told through letters and extracts, the course of Lumi’s journey takes her not only from the affluent colonies of Mars to the devastated remnants of Earth, but into the hidden depths of Sol’s past and the long-forgotten secrets of her own.
Set in a future where climate change has reduced the Earth to a playground for the wealthy, The Moonday Letters is part eco-thriller, part space-age epistolary, and a queer love story between two individuals from very different worlds.
Advance Praise
"The Moonday Letters is a thing entirely its own, full of melancholy, a sense of wonder and hope. It takes you on a shamanistic journey to a living and breathing future, carried by a mystery that slowly unravels. Itäranta is a compelling narrator who also knows when to pause to conjure stunning images with her always confident, exquisitely polished prose."
Hannu Rajaniemi, author of The Quantum Thief and Summerland
"The Moonday Letters ticks all the boxes for me. The solitary vastness of interplanetary space entwines with myths and mysteries of the ancient North; a personal tragedy interacts elegantly with the enormous ecological challenges of the future; and through the whole enchanting story echoes Itäranta’s exquisite, poetic, visionary writer’s voice."
Johanna Sinisalo, author of The Storm Flute and Strangers Inside
