Orbital by Samantha Harvey
MAY BOOK OF THE MONTH
A small book, intensely descriptive and beautifully researched. It will shock when we finally realise we are so teeny-tiny, living on an incredible planet in the infinite vastness of space. Why do we worry so much about trivial things? Our planet is extraordinary, and I think that contrast is what I love the most about this book. The descriptions of Earth are gorgeous, as are the individual stories from each astronaut.
Orbital really is awe-inspiring, uplifting and, I think, a work of art.
