LONDON — A lifelong fascination with outer space inspired British author Samantha Harvey to write her novel 'Orbital,' which won the prestigious Booker Prize this week.

'It seems a slightly eccentric choice because I didn't know anything about space, but I've always been interested in it,' Harvey told Agence France-Presse (AFP) in an interview on Thursday.
