The Booker Prize 2024 Winner

It is our great pleasure to confirm Orbital by Samantha Harvey as the winner of the Booker Prize 2024.

A luminous, deeply hopeful saga of six astronauts in space reflecting on life back down on their home planet, Orbital delivers its urgent warning of impending eco-catastrophe by honing in on the immense beauty at stake in humanity’s gamble with Planet Earth.

 

“She makes our wounded world something for contemplation, something deeply resonant... with her language of lyricism and acuity Harvey makes our world strange and new for us... a classic book, one of the great Booker novels.”

Edmund de Waal, Chair of Judges
