Thanks to Netgalley and Titan Books for a copy of this book. 

 

Translated to English from the original Finnish (Kuunpäivän kirjeet). 

 

In the year 2168, when Sol mysteriously disappears, their wife Lumi sets on a quest to find her. The journey is beautifully told mainly through letters from Lumi to Sol; we’re taken from colonies on Mars to the few still habitable parts of Earth and to Sol’s personal history. 

 

This is story has mystery, sci-fi, eco-terrorism and a small fantastical element but in the heart is the love between Lumi and Sol. 

 

The writing and world-building are stunning. This book serves as a reminder of how terrible humanity is of learning from its mistakes, no matter how bad the consequences were. 

 

This was a highly entertaining and gripping read, would love is Itäranta would set more books in this world, will be checking out more of her work.
