Gunn Memorial Library Adult Program: Scrabble Fun at the Gunn!
The 2024 Booker Prize-winning novel is a powerful and introspective exploration of one day aboard a space station, following the lives of six astronauts and cosmonauts worldwide. As they orbit Earth at 17,000 miles per hour, their connections to home are glimpsed through brief communications, cherished mementos, and memories. The novel beautifully captures their daily routines—preparing meals, floating in weightlessness, exercising to maintain strength—and their deep bonds in isolation. With stunning descriptions of sixteen sunrises and sunsets each day, Orbital is both a tribute to human connection and a poignant elegy to our fragile planet.
