An uplifting book'\nSUNDAY TIMES\nLife on our planet as you've never seen it before\nA team of astronauts in the International Space Station collect meteorological data, conduct scientific experiments and test the limits of the human body. But mostly they observe. Together they watch their silent blue planet, circling it sixteen times, spinning past continents and cycling through seasons, taking in glaciers and deserts, the peaks of mountains and the swells of oceans. Endless shows of spectacular beauty witnessed in a single day.\nYet although separated from the world they cannot escape its constant pull. News reaches them of the death of a mother, and with it comes thoughts of returning home. They look on as a typhoon gathers over an island and people they love, in awe of its magnificence and fearful of its destruction.\nThe fragility of human life fills their conversations, their fears, their dreams. So far from earth, they have never felt more part - or protective - of it. They begin to ask, what is life without earth? What is earth without humanity?\n'Our unanimity about Orbital recognises its beauty and ambition. It reflects Harvey’s extraordinary intensity of attention to the precious and precarious world we share' Edmund de Waal, Chair of the 2024 Booker Prize judges\n*A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR THE GUARDIAN, SUNDAY TIMES, FINANCIAL TIMES, NEW STATESMAN, SPECTATOR, DAILY MAIL AND MAIL ON SUNDAY*","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49557915730208,"sku":"9781529922936","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781529922936.jpg?v=1768502171"},{"product_id":"blue-sisters-coco-mellors-9780008623036","title":"Blue Sisters","description":"'IT MOVED ME DEEPLY' LIV LITTLE'DEEPLY POIGNANT' HARPERS BAZAAR'GORGEOUS' RAVEN LEILANITHE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF CLEOPATRA AND FRANKENSTEIN'It will make you laugh, cry deeply, and want to call your siblings’ Cosmopolitan'Even better than Cleopatra and Frankenstein' GraziaThe Blue sisters have always been exceptional – and exceptionally different.Avery, a strait-laced lawyer living in London, is the typical eldest daughter, though she’s hiding a secret that could undo her perfect life forever.Bonnie was a boxer but, following a devastating defeat, she's been working as a bouncer in LA – until a reckless act one night threatens to drive her out of the city.And Lucky, the rebellious youngest, is a model in Paris whose hard-partying ways are finally catching up with her.Then there was Nicky, the beloved fourth sister, whose unexpected death left Avery, Bonnie and Lucky reeling.When, a year later, the three of them must reunite in New York to stop the sale of their childhood home, they find that it's only by returning to each other that they can navigate their grief, addiction and heartbreak and learn to fall in love with life again.What readers are saying…‘This book was INCREDIBLE’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘This book moved me to tears several times’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘Captivating and utterly human’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘A book that will live with me for a very long time' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘A beautiful, moving book’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49887807209760,"sku":"9780008623036","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780008623036.jpg?v=1769347556"},{"product_id":"the-women-kristin-hannah-9781035005697","title":"The Women","description":"An instant Number One Sunday Times bestseller and soon to be a major motion picture\n'Utterly absorbing . . .

By night’s end, a murderer will be revealed.\nEx-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town, and the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting.\nBut one theft leads to another, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, home to Lady Milton and her family.\nOnce a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting Murder Mystery weekends.\nAs paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats, and old friends converge, we are treated a fiendishly clever mystery; one that pays homage to the masters of the genre—from Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers.\nBrilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinson’s signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodie’s most outrageous and memorable case yet.\n****\n'Sharp, droll and knowing as ever, Atkinson has huge fun with the set-up; the supporting cast is terrific, and the rueful Brodie, ever more mindful of the passing years, feels like an old friend.'
