by Zuska Kepplová (Author), Magdalena Mullek (Translator)

A glimpse into the world of young people, modern nomads, roving in search of a new and promising life.

The Moon in Foil traces the stories of Petra, Natália, Anka, Mika, Juliana, and Jackie as they go out into the world in search of a better life--or maybe just a different one. In post-communist Europe, they have the freedom to study and work in places their parents couldn't even have visited--Paris, London, Helsinki, and Budapest. But the reality of that "freedom," they soon discover, is often nothing more than tedious work and poor living conditions. From close looks at the work of a housekeeper at a French hotel, a bartender at an Irish pub, a snowboarding instructor in Slovakia in the winter and an office worker in London in the summer, and a programmer in Helsinki, to explorations of larger topics such as marriage, divorce, and relationships, Zuska Kepplová's novel is a millennials' odyssey--a search for the self by the post-Cold War generation.
