They watch as a typhoon gathers over an island where people they love live, awestruck by its magnificence and fearful of its destruction. The fragility of human life fills their conversations, their fears, their dreams. So far from Earth, they have never felt more part of it, or more protective of it. Samantha Harvey's luminous meditation is a \"space pastoral\"—not science fiction, but nature writing about Earth itself.
