Krátky popis
A beautifully unconventional debut novel about a girl, a boy, and a
satellite—and a bittersweet meditation on loneliness, alienation,
and what it means to be human. Longlisted for Canada Reads,
shortlisted for the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize for Literary Fiction
and for Speculative Fiction. Named CBC Radio's Q Book Pick of the
Month, a CBC Books Spring Reading List Title, a Shelf Life Books
Book of the Month, a Toronto Life and Nikkei Voice summer read
recommendation, one of Daily Hive's 10 Essential Reads to Celebrate
Asian Canadian Writers, and one of Quill &,amp,
Quirebooksellers' Books of the Year.On the eve of the new
millennium, in a city in southern Japan that progress has
forgotten, sixteen-year-old Anna Obata looks to the stars for
solace. An outcast at school, and left to fend for herself and care
for her increasingly senile grandfather at home, Anna copes with
her loneliness by searching the night sky for answers. But
everything changes the evening the Low Earth Orbit satellite (LEO
for short) returns her gaze and sees her as no one else has
before.After Leo is called down to Earth, he embarks on an
extraordinary journey to understand his own humanity as well as the
fragile mind of the young woman who called him into being. As Anna
withdraws further into her own mysterious plans, he will be forced
to question the limits of his devotion and the lengths he will go
to protect her.Full of surprising imaginative leaps and yet
grounded by a profound understanding of the human heart, Satellite
Love is a brilliant and deeply moving meditation on loneliness,
faith, and the yearning for meaning and connection. It is an
unforgettable story about the indomitable power of the imagination
and the mind's ability to heal itself, no matter the cost, no
matter the odds.
