4 stars
Three talented international astronauts have the opportunity to man the first mission to Mars. In preparation they must complete a trial run on an extremely realistic set of simulations. You definitely need to go into this book knowing a little about what it is about because I had assumed from the cover and literary comparisons that it had more elements of science fiction. It is really a quiet reflection on what it means to be isolated, to leave behind your love ones and what it is like to be left behind. It includes maybe too many different perspectives and it honestly could have been shorter, but overall it is beautifully written and there were many thought-provoking moments. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
