Orbital

[A] remarkable book ... Harvey writes with hypnotic power and poetic precision about - well, about everything

Mail on Sunday, praise for THE SHAPELESS UNEASE

Beautifully rendered, deeply affecting, thoroughly thoughtful

New York Times, praise for THE WESTERN WIND

I loved reading it before I fell asleep every night - it seemed to give my sleep resonance and poetry. What a beautiful book

Tessa Hadley, praise for THE SHAPELESS UNEASE

Orbital is a magnificent, thunderous work and yet so brief, so fleeting. It is an elegy to planet Earth in all its splendour and fragility. Exquisitely well-written, it confirms Samantha Harvey as a singular talent

Nathan Filer, author of The Shock of the Fall

I admire Orbital even more than the rest of Harvey's work... I don't think I've read anything else with such love for its characters and such clarity about the state of the planet, and I was deeply grateful for the novel's refusal of despair or cynicism

Sarah Moss, author of Summerwater

Indubitably intelligent, Harvey's prose is also quite simply ravishing ... This generation's Virginia Woolf
