Room 210
Join PageTurners for a discussion of the Booker Prize Winner, Orbital by Samatha Harvey
Orbital deftly snapshots one day in the lives of six women and men traveling through space. Selected for one of the last space station missions of its kind before the program is dismantled, these astronauts and cosmonauts—from America, Russia, Italy, Britain, and Japan—have left their lives behind to travel at a speed of over seventeen thousand miles an hour as the earth reels below. Profound and contemplative, Orbital is a moving elegy to our environment and planet.
