Orbital

About

"Orbital" by Samantha Harvey is a Booker Prize-winning novel that follows six astronauts on a space station mission circling the earth in 24 hours. Through glimpses into their lives and routines, the novel explores themes of solitude, human connection, and the beauty of Earth from space. The astronauts' experiences of sunrises, sunsets, and the galaxy's constellations offer a profound and contemplative reflection on our planet and environment. Harvey's writing has been praised as ravishingly beautiful, capturing both the awe-inspiring vastness of space and the intimate bonds formed by those in orbit.
