Orbital

Why I recommend it

This brief novel follows six people orbiting Earth. Harvey finds wonder in the view from space and in the ordinary routines of the people watching it.

What stayed with me

From that distance, borders disappear and storms become more visible. A different view changes what we notice.

Who it’s useful for

Readers who enjoy quiet fiction, space, and close observation.

A tension or limitation

There’s little conventional plot. The pleasure is in spending time with the view and the thoughts it brings.
