A review by courtneys__library
Orbital by Samantha Harvey

4.0

originally, I thought this didn’t work for me but after my book club’s discussion about it, I started to appreciate all of its intricacies and layers.

I am not a fan of anything that has to do with outer space. It freaks me out and I don’t like thinking about it for too long. BUT, this was a story about 6 astronauts ands cosmonauts in space, looking back on Earth.

it was incredibly simple but so well done. it was very introspective and existential and covered a lot of big topics in subtle and interesting ways.

my favorite part - Las Meninas
