The Moonday Letters (2022)
Emmi Itäranta
"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 Iteranta's exquisite, poetic, visionary writer's voice."
