Six astronauts orbit the Earth for 16 days and nights in the ISS, collecting data, observing the weather – and above all, the world. Between glaciers, storms, and quiet beauty, they reflect on loss, connection, and vulnerability, national borders and climate change. In poetic images, Samantha Harvey’s novel, translated by Julia Wolf, tells of the distance to the earth – and of how close everything feels, even from space. »It’s an Anthropocene book resistant to doom.« [Guardian]
