A wise, tender novel about a woman who has never felt at home on Earth

*** THE US WORD-OF-MOUTH SENSATION JUST LANDED IN THE UK ***

'One of the best books I have read this year' KALIANE BRADLEY, Guardian
'One of the best things I've ever read... What a special, special book' *Reader review*
'Weeping, yelling, sending faxes. I loved this beautiful book so much' *Reader review*

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.

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?

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.
