What to expect
A tense, darkly funny, and politically resonant novel of life under authoritarian rule.
Romania, 1989, the twilight of Ceausescu's dictatorship: A time when every neighbor, every friend, every family member may be an informant for the regime. When news emerges of a maneating bear terrorizing the country, two bright lives collide. Constantin, an idealistic police detective―prone to daydreaming and scribbling fairytales in his notebook for his four-year-old son―is tasked with solving the string of mysterious deaths. Lia, a rebellious, inquisitive schoolgirl pining for more color in her life, is unwittingly drawn into an elderly neighbor's secret plot against the regime. The decisions they make amid the constant gray skies and fear of speaking out will have sweeping consequences―for themselves, for their families, and for their country. Astronaut! is a chilling, suspenseful, and resonant tale by a dynamic new novelist.
