Good Morning, Midnight
Summary
For listeners 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. 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.

Summary
"Ainsi prend fin le monde, non dans une explosion, mais dans un murmure." T. S. Eliot Augustin, un brillant astronome, est en mission dans l'Arctique lorsque sa base est évacuée.

La rencontre avec une fillette de huit ans change ses plans : il doit reprendre contact avec le monde pour qu'elle soit sauvée. Mais toutes ses tentatives restent sans réponse...

Au fil des échanges, ils vont se découvrir et se rapprocher, malgré l'immense vide qui les sépare. Ensemble, ils affrontent leurs peurs et leur solitude, réfléchissent sur leurs choix passés et affrontent le futur qui les attend. Bientôt sur Netflix sous le titre "The Midnight Sky."
