<p><b>Meet Adina: a woman who has never felt at home on Earth</b></p><p><b>*** A <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BOOK OF THE YEAR, JUST LANDED IN THE UK ***</b></p><p>'One of the best books I have read this year' <b>KALIANE BRADLEY, <i>Guardian</i></b><br>'As tender as it is witty and perceptive' <b><i>SPECTATOR</i></b><br>'I do not know how my life would be if I hadn't read this book' <b>*Reader review*</b></p><p>Born at the moment when Voyager 1 is launched into space, Adina is a baby of unusual perception. Tiny and jaundiced, she reaches for warmth and light. As a child, she recognises she is different, not least because of her strange knowledge of a faraway planet. Then a fax machine arrives at home. Her mission is clear: she must report on the oddities of humankind.</p><p>As Adina grows up, she dispatches transmissions on the terrors and delights of human existence. But then she starts to wonder. Is there a chance there are others like her out there?</p><p>Adina sees our world differently. And her gentle, perceptive - and funny - observations offer a quietly joyful new view of life on Earth, the challenge of knowing ourselves and the miracle of finding our people in this vast universe.</p><p>'A remarkable funny-sad novel' <b><i>New York Times</i></b><br>'I loved this idiosyncratic, funny and wise novel' <b>LAILA LALAMI, author of <i>The Dream Hotel</i></b><br>'Joyous and expansive and wonderfully funny' <b>DAISY JOHNSON, author of <i>Fen</i></b> <br>'A book that I will recommend to people for the rest of my life' <b>DAKOTA JOHNSON</b></p>
