Orbital takes the Booker Prize out of this world... literally! As the first winning novel set in space, it follows a team of astronauts aboard the International Space Station, offering a fresh perspective on our world. At just 136 pages, it’s the second-shortest book to win the prize, making it a quick yet cosmic read. Plus, it's the only British-authored nominee this year!
Just read James. Now looking forward to those other two, if I can find them.
