At the same time, in a small English village, Oliver Ines is born.             Ollie spends his childhood in a bedroom covered in glow-in-the-dark wallpaper, bearing the planets and stars. Decades later, he has become one of the most renowned astronauts of his time. When an enterprising billionaire approaches him to lead a landmark, ten-year mission to the distant moon Europa, Ollie cannot resist the call of history.             As the mission advances deeper into uncharted territory, Ollie finds himself retreating into the past: his school days and years in the Navy, relationships found and lost, becoming a husband and father. But will the world he remembers still be waiting for him when he returns?          Celestial Lights is a breathtaking story of fate, love, and sacrifice that questions what we owe ourselves and our loved ones, when our ambitions and loyalties collide.             `Truly lovely . the scope of an epic' JO HAMYA, author of The Hypocrite          `A wonderful and singular reading experience' JENNY MUSTARD, author of What A Time To Be Alive                      `Incredible . stayed with me long after the page'            RED MAGAZINE                    `Atmospheric, original, and beautiful' ELA LEE, author of Minbak          `Masterful .
