“Ravishingly beautiful.” — Joshua Ferris, New York Times.  Read the whole NYT review here.

Profound and contemplative, it snapshots one day in the lives of six women and men traveling through space. Selected for one of the last space station missions of its kind before the program is dismantled, the fictional cosmonauts—from America, Russia, Italy, Britain, and Japan—have left their lives behind to travel at a speed of over seventeen thousand miles an hour as the earth reels below. Their experiences of sunrises and sunsets and the bright, blinking constellations of the galaxy are at once breathtakingly awesome and surprisingly intimate.

This book is a rare treat.
