O tym tytule
Johanna is feeling adrift in her own life. Two years ago, she and her husband Paul were on the brink of divorce. But when Paul was paralyzed in a workplace accident, she decided to stay and care for him. Her life is lonely. She spends her days preparing meals, dressing her husband for work, and watching TV alone.
But one evening as she's channel surfing, Johanna discovers something unusual. There seems to be a channel she's never seen before, playing a round-the-clock feed of a woman who looks, acts and talks like her. This woman is living a very different kind of life in New York: the life she might have led if she'd walked out on Paul when their marriage first hit the rocks.
And as Johanna's obsession deepens, it emerges that this doppelganger has an agenda of her own. When she bursts into Johanna's quiet and carefully ordered life, the ensuing chaos forces both women to confront the lives they are leading - and the choices they have yet to make.
Laugh-out-loud funny, perceptive and utterly original, Satellite is an irresistible novel about love, commitment, identity, sacrifice and freedom.

Opinie krytyków
A thrilling and subversive tale of the psychological powers embedded in domestic activities and ordinary relationships, and explores the question of what makes a more important alternative to the present - the unlived past or the not yet fulfilled future. Isle McElroy writes with the sharpness of a searchlight into the hidden corners of human hearts (Yiyun Li, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Things in Nature Merely Grow)
What a ride! I loved it (Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things and The Barbecue at No. 9)
Satellite wrecked me. How beautiful to open a book and be confronted by a series of interlocking questions; the "what ifs" of personal choice held inside ever weirder and more wonderful nesting dolls. It's an unpacking that shows both sides of the same deeply human coin: vulnerability, strength. The ache here is palpable, felt in the teeth. Sexy, yearning, and slick. A gorgeous new novel from one of my very favorite authors. God, aren't we lucky! (Kristen Arnett, New York Times-bestselling author of Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One)
Satellite is a lucid dagger of a book: dangerous, sexy, bitingly funny and ultimately humane. McElroy will cut out your heart, then stitch you neatly back up again (Rufi Thorpe, author of Margo's Got Money Troubles)
Isle McElroy writes marriage and selfhood, those two mysterious and overlapping realms, with style, wit, and wisdom; Satellite is keenly attuned to the private negotiations and longings of making - and sharing - a life. A brilliantly conceived, beautifully written, sensuous, hugely moving novel. For real: read it and weep! (Sarah Thankam Mathews)
Satellite is an inventive novel about the split second decisions that come to define our lives, and the seductive allure of what could have been: that second self staring back in the mirror, undomesticated and at home in their own desire. Mcelroy's prose is sly, precise, and frequently laugh-out-loud funny; I tore through this (Rob Franklin)
Satellite is a twisted and hilarious doppelganger thriller that left me ruminating on its philosophical premise for weeks. What began as a strange and sexy page-turner kept surprising me with its tenderness and emotional intelligence - a tremendously satisfying read (Melissa Febos, national bestselling author of Girlhood and The Dry Season)
This singular, bewitching novel takes seriously the idea that we do contain multitudes: what then, and after that, what then again? Who else could we be? I hurtled through Satellite's branching paths, both fascinated and not wanting any of it to come to an end (R. O. Kwan)
