So much death - and yet, see how tranquil life can be. In these pages are the strange lessons of pandemic living.

Reading about a pandemic when the real world is still recovering from one would have been heavy going, were it not for the unerring grace of Mandel's prose. One reader complains to Olive about the lack of connection in Marienbad: 'I was so confused by your book.'Ĭertainly, she would have no problems with Sea Of Tranquility, which interrogates the very notion of impossible connection and ties up all its diverse strands beautifully. In a wryly auto-fictional strand, 23rd-century author Olive Llewellyn goes on a book tour for Marienbad, the pandemic bestseller that made her famous - as Station Eleven did for Mandel. It also won the Goodreads Choice Awards for Best Science Fiction 2022.Most notably, it brings back characters from her 2020 novel The Glass Hotel, including one-time trophy wives Mirella and Vincent, once friends, now estranged. It was chosen by Amazon as one of their 20 Best Books of the Year for 2022. He also named it as one of his two favorite books of the year. The novel was well received and made in into Barack Obama’s annual summer reading list. John Mandel is a skilled writer and her writing makes this book the perfect adventure! What I loved about the book was that each story about the different characters could have been their own novels. The novel is told in chronological order and the events unravel once you get to the end of the novel. Will Gaspery-Jacques solve the mystery or become lost in time?
