Orbital by Samantha Harvey: Book 5 of #20booksofsummer24

This month, as days shorten and nights draw in, some readers take part in #NovNov24, a reading challenge which focuses on the #novella form

It's a form I love to read - my own novella #TravellingintheDark was published by #FairlightBooks in their #FairlightModerns series back in 2018

A pile of the novella Travelling in the Dark, a candle, and a ceramic tile decorated with an Elizabeth Blackadder painting of a tabby cat amongst red and pink tulips.
