Samantha Harvey & Sarah Perry: To Earth with Love

In Samantha Harvey’s Orbital, six astronauts gaze down on Earth, meditating on home as they keep circling it. Meanwhile, Sarah Perry’s Enlightenment traces 20 years between friends; heartsore, one of them finds solace gazing up at the night sky. Both meticulously researched, both deeply tender novels – the authors talk with Dan Richards about science, awe, and our place on this planet we call home. A rare opportunity to hear two novelists longlisted for this year's Booker Prize for Fiction in conversation.
