ISBN:  9780802161543 (hardcover) 0802161545 (hardcover) Description:  207 pages : chart ; 20 cm Edition:  First Grove Atlantic hardcover edition. Requests:  1 Summary:  "A singular new novel from Betty Trask Prize-winner Samantha Harvey, Orbital is an eloquent meditation on space and life on our planet through the eyes of six astronauts circling the earth in twenty-four hours. A slender novel of epic power, Orbital deftly snapshots a day in the lives of six women and men hurtling through space--not toward the moon or the vast unknown, but around our planet. 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 warp speed as the earth reels below. We glimpse moments of their earthly lives through brief communications with family, their photos and talismans; we watch them whip up dehydrated meals, float in gravity-free sleep, and exercise in regimented routines to prevent atrophying muscles; we witness them form bonds that will stand between them and utter solitude. Most of all, we are with them as they behold and record their silent blue planet. Their experiences of sixteen sunrises and sunsets and the bright, blinking constellations of the galaxy are at once breathtakingly awesome and surprisingly intimate. So are the marks of civilization far below, encrusted on the planet on which we live. Profound, contemplative, and gorgeous, Orbital is a gift--a moving elegy to our humanity, environment, and planet"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order     in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Harvey   Damaged   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Harvey   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books Harvey   Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Harvey   Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Harvey [Sci Fic] Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Science Fiction Harvey Science Fiction Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Harvey   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Science Fiction Harvey   Checked out 06/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Fiction Harvey   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
