Johanna Sinisalo recommends

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."
