Good Morning Midnight
Author: Lily Brooks-Dalton

For readers of Station Eleven and The Snow Child, Lily Brooks-Dalton s haunting debut is the unforgettable story of two outsiders a lonely scientist in the Arctic and an astronaut trying to return to Earth as they grapple with love, regret, and survival in a world transformed. — Augustine, a brilliant, aging astronomer, is consumed by the stars.... more » For years he has lived in remote outposts, studying the sky for evidence of how the universe began. At his latest posting, in a research center in the Arctic, news of a catastrophic event arrives. The scientists are forced to evacuate, but Augustine stubbornly refuses to abandon his work. Shortly after the others have gone, Augustine discovers a mysterious child, Iris, and realizes that the airwaves have gone silent. They are alone.

At the same time, Mission Specialist Sullivan is aboard the Aether on its return flight from Jupiter. The astronauts are the first human beings to delve this deep into space, and Sully has made peace with the sacrifices required of her: a daughter left behind, a marriage ended. So far the journey has been a success. But when Mission Control falls inexplicably silent, Sully and her crewmates are forced to wonder if they will ever get home.

As Augustine and Sully each face an uncertain future against forbidding yet beautiful landscapes, their stories gradually intertwine in a profound and unexpected conclusion. In crystalline prose, Good Morning, Midnight poses the most important questions: What endures at the end of the world? How do we make sense of our lives? Lily Brooks-Dalton s captivating debut is a meditation on the power of love and the bravery of the human heart.

Advance praise for Good Morning, Midnight

Good Morning, Midnight is a remarkable and gifted debut novel. Lily Brooks-Dalton is an uncanny chronicler of desolate spaces, whether it s the cold expanse of the universe or the deepest recesses of the human heart. Colson Whitehead

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? With imagination, empathy, and insight into unchanged and unchangeable human nature, Lily Brooks-Dalton takes us on an emotional journey in this beautiful debut. Yiyun Li

A truly original novel, otherworldly and profoundly human . . . This beautiful story reminds us of our deep longing for connection with those we love, with strangers, with ourselves. We come to understand that, across time and distance, in the face of isolation and emptiness, it is tenderness and communication that keep us tethered to each other. Good Morning, Midnight is a fascinating story, surprising and inspiring at every turn. Keith Scribner From the Hardcover edition."
