About the event
Join Justine for a relaxed meet and chat about this uplifting award-winning novel by Samantha Harvey.
Described as ‘beautiful’ and ‘awe-inspiring’, it’s life on our planet as you’ve never seen it before. And it’s a slender read so there’s plenty of time to pick it up from Amazon or Coupang before September!
This short, poetic novel captures 24 hours in the lives of six astronauts and cosmonauts aboard a space station. Traveling at 17,000 miles per hour, they circle Earth 16 times, watching the silent blue planet below while reflecting on human life, solitude, and the fragile beauty of Earth.
‘Ravishingly beautiful…restores some of life’s
Original magic.’ The New York Times
‘A finely crafted meditation on the Earth, beauty and human aspiration.’ The Guardian
