He could still look out the round windows of the spaceship and see the Earth. Inside his body, he felt the cold of space. Inside the light, he floated in a spaceship. But never mind, the story still sounded like it might appeal.ĭeep in darkness, there was a tiny light. Nor did I recognise any of the names who have blurbed the book. The cover is,um, very pink, and it doesn’t look anything like a novel featuring an astronaut. Happily, it was on half-price promotion in Waterstone’s, so I bought a copy. Since the fourth book of my Apollo Quartet, All That Outer Space Allows, will be about the wife of an Apollo astronaut, I was both intrigued by Shine Shine Shine as well as having a “professional interest” in it. ![]() Wherever it was, the précis of the plot was enough to pique my interest, as the blurb says: “This is the story of an astronaut lost in space, and the wife he left behind”. ![]() It certainly wasn’t recommended to me by Amazon – I forget the last time I bought a book by an author unknown to me because it was recommended by Amazon. ![]() I’m pretty sure it wasn’t on one of the many blogs I read, nor by one of the people I follow on Twitter. I forget where I saw mention of Lydia Netzer’s Shine Shine Shine. ![]()
