In 2020, an experimental music artist plays a video during his music. What he sees in the forest disturbs him, and jolts his lazy nature. What do these three characters and experiences have in common? To try to sort it out, Gaspery-Jacques Roberts is put to task, but will he make things better or worse? The initial story is set in 1912 Canada is Edwin St Andrew is asked to leave his family home in England. There’s the sound of a violin, a hydraulic whoosh and a forest. The connecting experience between the three time periods is a strange sensation, a glitch in the matrix if you like, that several characters experience. You don’t have to have read either novel to enjoy it (I still haven’t read Station Eleven), but it was a thrill to see characters from The Glass Hotel again and learn a little more about them. Sea of Tranquility takes snippets of characters from her previous novels, The Glass Hotel and Station Eleven and makes a fascinating story linking people across centuries. John Mandel can write about anything – moon colonies, airships, learning the violin – and make it seem endlessly fascinating. Thank you to Pan Macmillan for the copy.Įmily St. Why I chose it: Because The Glass Hotel was just so good. The not-so-good: I read it really quickly. John Mandel writes, I know I’ll enjoy it. Can a detective from the future explain this glitch in time? In brief: Set across three time periods, a strange experience unites three different individuals.
