«Der Mond flieht: Eine Sommergeschichte» is the novel by Rax Rinnekangas published by Graf Verlag in hardcover (158 pages, in German).
Finland, summer. Lauri, thirteen years old, is at his uncle Eino's farm with his cousins Sonja and Leo. Together they create a parallel reality of sensual nuances: rocks with souls, a river that serves as a refuge, and an old fir tree of mysterious strength. Sonja drags them into happy and dangerous experiences until a catastrophe changes their lives.
Translated from Finnish by Stefan Moster, the work was originally published as Kuu Kaarka and received the Finnish state prize.
For readers of coming-of-age novels set in nature; text in German that may appeal to those who enjoy contemporary Finnish narrative.
