I don’t even know how to best describe that genre or category this book would fit into.
If you just read the synopsis, you might think this is partially some sort of historical fiction novel. It’s like little micro-stories that gives you just enough to know what’s going on without getting bogged down in the specific color of green the grass is.
There was SO MUCH that happened in this book that isn’t even touched on in the synopsis, but the book is still less than 300 pages.
I was already waiting for it when he released his list, but that just solidified that I needed to read it.Īfter reading three Mandel books now, I think the only thing I know is to expect the unexpected. I can absolutely see why Sea of Tranquility made Barak Obama’s summer reading list for 2022. When Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a detective in the Night City, is hired to investigate an anomaly in the North American wilderness, he uncovers a series of lives upended: The exiled son of an earl driven to madness, a writer trapped far from home as a pandemic ravages Earth, and a childhood friend from the Night City who, like Gaspery himself, has glimpsed the chance to do something extraordinary that will disrupt the timeline of the universe. Within the text of Olive’s bestselling pandemic novel lies a strange passage: a man plays his violin for change in the echoing corridor of an airship terminal as the trees of a forest rise around him. She’s traveling all over Earth, but her home is the second moon colony, a place of white stone, spired towers, and artificial beauty. Two centuries later a famous writer named Olive Llewellyn is on a book tour. He enters the forest, spellbound by the beauty of the Canadian wilderness, and suddenly hears the notes of a violin echoing in an airship terminal-an experience that shocks him to his core. Andrew is eighteen years old when he crosses the Atlantic by steamship, exiled from polite society following an ill-conceived diatribe at a dinner party. A novel of art, time, love, and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon three hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space.Įdwin St.
