In post-communist Europe, they have the freedom to study and work in places their parents couldn't even have visited--Paris, 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 Kepplová's novel is a millennials' odyssey--a search for the self by the post-Cold War generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eZuska Kepplová\u003c\/b\u003e is an editor and political commentator for the daily newspaper \u003ci\u003eSME. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eMagdalena Mullek\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent literary translator and scholar.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Seagull Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50456479531282,"sku":"9781803092546","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_1765b156-f635-4052-b576-719f234ed6aa.jpg?v=1729911562","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-moon-in-foil-9781803092546","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
