Rachel’s Cusks Outline isn’t your typical novel! There’s no dramatic romance, no shocking betrayals, no high-stakes adventures. Instead, it unfolds like a hazy, sun-drenched afternoon in Athens— where time slows down, conversations stretch on over glasses of wine, and stories seep into the air like heat rising off the pavement…

Imagine seeing 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets in a single day, floating high above Earth, where time feels fluid and the planet below looks both breathtaking and fragile. This is the mesmerising world of Orbital, Samantha Harvey’s latest novel.
