A lyrical science fiction mystery wrapped in a LGBTQ love story that bends space, time, myth, and science—perfect for fans of Octavia Butler and Emily St. John Mandel. “Dreamy and mysterious and nearly impossible to pin down.” —Paste Magazine Sol has disappeared. Their Earth-born wife Lumi sets out to find them but it is no simple feat: each clue uncovers another enigma. Their disappearance leads back to underground environmental groups and a web of mystery that spans the space between the planets themselves. Told through letters and extracts, the course of Lumi’s journey takes her not only from the affluent colonies of Mars to the devastated remnants of Earth, but into the hidden depths of Sol’s past and the long-forgotten secrets of her own. Set in a future where climate change has reduced the Earth to a playground for the wealthy, The Moonday Letters is part eco-thriller, part space-age epistolary, and a queer love story between two individuals from very different worlds.

Der neue Roman von der Autorin des international gefeierten Debüts »Der Geschmack von Wasser«. Eliana ist eine pflichtbewusste Weberin im prestigeträchtigen Haus der Spinnweben. Sie kann lesen und schreiben und sie kann träumen, eine Fähigkeit, die der »Rat« der Inselstadt strengstens untersagt. Niemand spricht über die Träumer, die in der Gesellschaft geächtet werden. Eines Tages wird ein junges Mädchen bewusstlos aufgefunden. Der einzige Hinweis auf ihre Identität ist ein Wort, das auf ihre Handfläche tätowiert wurde: Eliana. Als Eliana sich dem Geheimnis des Mädchens nähert, beginnt das Lügengebäude der Obrigkeit zu bröckeln.

An amazing, award-winning speculative fiction debut novel by a major new talent, in the vein of Ursula K. Le Guin. Global warming has changed the world’s geography and its politics. Wars are waged over water, and China rules Europe, including the Scandinavian Union, which is occupied by the power state of New Qian. In this far north place, seventeen-year-old Noria Kaitio is learning to become a tea master like her father, a position that holds great responsibility and great secrets. Tea masters alone know the location of hidden water sources, including the natural spring that Noria’s father tends, which once provided water for her whole village. But secrets do not stay hidden forever, and after her father’s death the army starts watching their town—and Noria. And as water becomes even scarcer, Noria must choose between safety and striking out, between knowledge and kinship. Imaginative and engaging, lyrical and poignant, Memory of Water is an indelible novel that portrays a future that is all too possible.
