British author Samantha Harvey wins Booker prize for Orbital

Orbital by Samantha Harvey, the only British writer shortlisted this year, has won the 2024 Booker prize.

Harvey’s tale of six fictional astronauts on the International Space Station was “unanimously” chosen from a shortlist of six novels according to the artist and author Edmund de Waal, who chaired the panel of judges.

The book, which follows its characters over the course of a day as they experience 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets, is a “finely crafted meditation on the Earth, beauty and human aspiration,” wrote Alexandra Harris in her Guardian review.
