Klappentext
Romania, 1989: a grey place of mysterious queues, ubiquitous informers and daily news flashes about aman-eating bear that is terrorising the country.
Amidst the daily drudge of work, rationing and careful conversation with neighbours, two lives unexpectedly collide when an idealistic police detective, Constantin , is tasked with solving a string of grisly murders, and a rebellious school child, Lia , is unwittingly drawn into her elderly neighbour's seditious plot.
Dryly satirical, incredibly tense and deeply moving, ASTRONAUT! is both a detective novel and a coming-of-age tale, one with a perennially relevant message: the lies we accept today become the truths of tomorrow.
More praise for the work of Oana Aristide:
'Achingly believable, unsensational and chilling'- The Times
'A beautifully written, emotionally gripping book' - Guardian
