Hold Back the Stars

A Novel

De: Katie Khan

Narrado por: Gemma Whelan

A startling and evocative novel, harkening to both One Day and Gravity. A man and a woman revisit memories of their love affair on a utopian Earth while they are trapped in the vast void of space with only 90 minutes of oxygen left.

After the catastrophic destruction of the Middle East and the United States, Europe has become a utopia, and every three years the European population must rotate into different multicultural communities, living as individuals responsible for their own actions. While living in this paradise, Max meets Carys and immediately feels a spark of attraction. He quickly realizes, however, that Carys is someone he might want to stay with long-term, which is impossible in this new world.

As their relationship plays out, the connections between their time on Earth and their present dilemma in space become clear. When their air ticks dangerously low, one is offered the chance of salvation - but who will take it?

An original and daring exploration of the impact of first love and how the choices we make can change the fate of everyone around us, this is an unforgettable listen.

Beautiful. Exhilarating

This was a tear jerker, and rush of excitement. I hope the movie is as captivating.
