The Moon in Foil traces the stories of Petra, Natlia, Anka, Mika, Juliana, and Jackie as they go out into the world in search of a better lifeor maybe just a different one. In post-communist Europe, they have the freedom to study and work in places their parents couldnt even have visitedParis, 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 Kepplovs novel is a millennials odysseya search for the self by the postCold War generation.
