Book Summary

Orbital is a poetic and reflective novel that follows six astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station over the course of a single day as they orbit Earth sixteen times. The story focuses less on action and more on the astronauts’ thoughts, emotions, memories, and observations as they look down on the planet from space. Through their experiences, the novel explores themes of humanity, loneliness, climate change, mortality, beauty, and the fragile connection between people and Earth. Samantha Harvey uses lyrical language and vivid imagery to show how seeing the world from space changes the characters’ understanding of life, borders, and human existence. The novel was praised for its originality, emotional depth, and meditative style, becoming the first space-set novel to win the Booker Prize 2024.
