«La lune s'enfuit» is the literary fiction novel by Finnish author Rax Rinnekangas, published by Editions Phébus in paperback (114 pages, in French).
Lassi, a thirteen-year-old boy, spends the summer with his cousins Sonja and Léo on a farm in the Finnish countryside, where the rhythm is set by the heat and the harvests. Between games and discoveries, the three delve into a forbidden passion; when tragedy strikes, an inexplicable secret binds them and death marks the survivors forever.
The novel was originally published in Finnish as «Kuu Kaarka» in 1991; this French edition is from 2013 and belongs to the Libretto collection.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction, translated Nordic narrative and coming-of-age stories with a rural atmosphere.
