ATMOSPHERE TAYLOR – JENKINS REID

An epic novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program, exploring the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits. In the summer of 1980, astrophysics professor Joan Goodwin begins training to be an astronaut at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates: Top‑Gun pilot Hank Redmond; mission specialists John Griffin and Lydia Danes; warm‑hearted Donna Fitzgerald; and Vanessa Ford, the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer. As the new astronauts prepare for their first flights, Joan discovers a passion and love she never imagined and begins to question everything she believes about her place in the observable universe. Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS‑LR9, everything changes in an instant.

Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best: transporting readers to iconic times and places, creating complex protagonists, and telling a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love—this time among the stars.
