Six astronauts rotate in their spacecraft contemplating the world below

A team of astronauts in the International Space Station collect meteorological data, conduct scientific experiments and test the limits of the human body. But mostly they observe. Together they watch their silent blue planet, circling it sixteen times, spinning past continents and cycling through seasons, taking in glaciers and deserts, the peaks of mountains and the swells of oceans. Endless shows of spectacular beauty witnessed in a single day.

Yet although separated from the world they cannot escape its constant pull. News reaches them of the death of a mother, and with it comes thoughts of returning home. They look on as a typhoon gathers over an island and people they love, in awe of its magnificence and fearful of its destruction.

The fragility of human life fills their conversations, their fears, their dreams. So far from earth, they have never felt more part - or protective - of it. They begin to ask, what is life without earth? What is earth without humanity?

    Commentaires

    Our unanimity about Orbital recognises its beauty and ambition. It reflects Harvey’s extraordinary intensity of attention to the precious and precarious world we share (Edmund de Waal, Chair of the 2024 Booker Prize judges)
    In this slender novel, Harvey seems to have encompassed all of humanity… It is an extraordinary achievement
    Gorgeously poetic… I was knocked out. It’s also surprisingly funny… One of the most original novels I’ve read this year
    Harvey beautifully evokes the wonder and fragility of our planet and its inhabitants. An uplifting book, in every sense
    In Samantha Harvey’s Orbital, six astronauts circle the world 16 times. Gliding through Harvey’s technicolour prose is an equally frictionless experience
    Orbital is the rarest of things, a book that satisfies both my lifelong obsession with space travel and my hunger for sentences and paragraphs that demand to be read and reread… My goodness this novel is beautiful
    Eerily beautiful
    One of our most consistently surprising novelists rips up the rulebook again… A boldly imaginative meditation on time and the nature of existence
    Orbital is entirely original, a serenely beautiful and intelligent creation
    This genius novel… Asks big questions about humanity and the fragility of our lives… A short yet exquisite read

    Enjoyed the magical stillness of movement. Relaxing and refreshing. A little depressing at times also, but that’s life, isn’t it?

    Human poetry dedicated to a humane Earth. Briliant.

    I listened to this months ago, while injured and immobile. I was in a tiny orbital of my own, watching the sky from a single window. After seeing the Booker shortlist, I bought this on a whim after listening to the sample. I wasn't expecting to love this book; I just wanted something to pass the time.

    I couldn't stop listening. Brilliant story and well read. Ever since I reached the end, I've been telling every reader I know that they need to give this one a listen. This book is a ray of hope.

    Ray of Hope, with Beautiful Story and Narration

    An uninspired contemplation of life in space. The reader's voice is insipid and the sound quality is low.

    Dull.
