For fans of STATION ELEVEN and THE MARTIAN 'A remarkable and gifted debut novel' Colson Whitehead, author of THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD 'What does it mean to be isolated from the ordinariness of the everyday world, yet to find the extraordinariness of being close to another human being?' Yiyun Li, PEN/Hemingway Award winner There is a particular beauty in silence, in being cut off from the world. Augustine is a brilliant, ageing scientist, consumed by the stars. Isolated in the cold but electrifying beauty of an Arctic Circle research base, he scans the universe, trying to find the origins of time itself. Mission Specialist Sullivan, a divorced astronaut and mother, is aboard the Aether, on its return flight from Jupiter. When all communication goes silent, she is left wondering what she will be returning to. As the silence expands, these two character begin to understand their place in the world, and what gives their life meaning. For only in the silence can we find out who we truly are. GOOD MORNING MIDNIGHT is an extraordinarily beautiful and poignant novel about what is to be human - what is means to have experienced ambition, loss, grief, what it means to love and be loved. 'A beautifully written, sparse post-apocalyptic novel that explores memory, loss and identity ... Fans of Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven and Kim Stanley Robinson's Aurora will appreciate the Brooks-Dalton's exquisite exploration of relationships in extreme environments.' Washington Post

Take a sealed environment (or two), populate it with bright, mission-driven people, and watch what happens. Brooks-Dalton succeeds brilliantly where T.C. Boyle failed utterly. Her two 'sealed' environments are different, but equally challenging to their inhabitants, especially in the area of self-knowlege. The scenario in which both exist seems eerily possible in today's world (I'm not going to be a spoiler); so, this story reads like an alternative reality that just might come about. There's a subtle tie-in between a character in each environment that's revealed to the reader, but not the character's themselves. Brooks-Dalton resists the temptation to wrap things up in an overly tidy way, which adds imaginative richness for the reader. Her mastery of language is unquestionable and her metaphors fresh and delicious. Lastly, her organization of alternating chapters turned this into a page-turner for me. Just don't start the book until you've finished your taxes.
