Wondrous – like no other book I ever read. 207 pages. Can’t get it out of my mind now that I closed the last page.

“Harvey takes readers on board a cramped space station with six members of an international mission as they rotate the earth 16 times in 24 hours. Through their eyes, we watch typhoons grow in the Pacific, packs of noodles float in zero gravity, and continents whir by. A meditative novel that reveals our changing planet with a new urgency, and its inhabitants with a new and profound love.” —Oprah Daily, A Best Book of the Year

“Orbital is as beautiful as it is profound. It’s not a long book, but I made the final chapters last for weeks because I didn’t want the book to end.” —Emily St. John Mandel, author of Sea of Tranquility

“A short novel of cosmic proportions.”—Financial Times, A Best Book of the Year

“Coming from five different countries, the space travelers represent a microcosm of humanity. This is a beautifully written, deeply thoughtful meditation on planet Earth and our place in it.”—Library Journal, Starred Review“

Luminous and profound, Orbital is hard to put down and even harder to forget.” —Booklist, Starred Review
