[Books] 'Orbital' / Samantha Harvey

Orbital by Samantha Harvey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Difficult, this one. Hardly a novel, with barely a threadbare plot that just keeps going in circles (sorry..). At the same time, it is a lovely, lovely prose poem with at times gripping and touching imagery (mostly that of the planet below). I finished it and left without still really knowing what to make of it. Come for the descriptions, the images. Don't come expecting a conventional novel, plot.
