Emily St. John Mandel, Writer (Station Eleven) by Levi Mandel (ig: @levimandel) https://flic.kr/p/2ncZxTC

“She’d been disappearing for so long that she didn’t know how to stay.” This is the “coldest” book I have in my collection, so, come winter, I inevitably think about the story of a girl abducted in her childhood and unable to settle down and another girl abandoned by her father obsessed with catching the fleeing girl. A sad story taking place in cold Montreal 🌨❄️. #bookstagram #booklover #whattoread #whattoreadnext #canadianauthor #canadianliterature #emilystjohnmandel #lastnightinmontreal #winterreads #mysteryfiction #mysterybooks (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJqtQb3AXeN/?igshid=1pcg3vzbitk2k

This book is going to be super tough to review. It doesn’t seem to make any sense at all when I’m sat here composing my own short synopsis but wow, I loved this book so very much. Like another favourite of mine by this author, Station Eleven, Emily St John Mandel takes some complex strands, knots them together and even though you might still be questioning certain elements at the end, you’ll be impressed by how she’s manage to connect all the dots. ⁣ ⁣ The Sea Of Tranquility is set across multiple timeframes, including the future. We have a young man that has come overseas from England to Vancouver Island in 1912 after being exiled from his family unit. Two centuries later, there is an author on a book tour on Earth (although she calls a second moon colony her home) then there is a detective who is investigating anomalies that have changed lives. More specifically, there is a young man who seizes the opportunity to change entire timelines at huge personal risk to himself and his family. ⁣ ⁣ I can’t really say anymore than that. It’s a story that’s so very intricate but worth every bit of effort that you put in, even if some of the parts had me wanting to metaphorically tear my hair out whilst other parts had me re-evaluating everything I had just read. ⁣ ⁣ In fact, this is one of those novels that would be absolutely perfect for a re-read. The author uses such complex ideas that all make sense at the end, however the journey to completion did blow my mind a little bit! It was the perfect book to buddy read along with a fantastic bunch of bookstagrammers including the lovely @edels_reads who organised it all. If you get a chance to buddy read it, I highly recommend it as there’s so much to discuss! Furiously rich in detail, inventive, powerful and unforgettable in everything this novel tries (and succeeds) to do, I’ll be automatically pre-ordering the next book by Mandel. ⁣ ⁣ Five glorious stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ⁣ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #scottishbookstagrammer #theseaoftranquility #emilystjohnmandel #fivestarread #fivestarreview #sciencefiction #literaryfiction #youneedthisbook #recommendedreading #favouritebooks #mustreadbooks #readthisnovel https://www.instagram.com/p/CeyzUq9rdpr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sea of Tranquility is the wonderful new book from Emily St. John Mandel. "A young man crosses the Atlantic by steamship and heads to Vancouver. While wandering in the forest he suddenly hears the music of a violin and an airship taking off. Two centuries later, famous author Olive Llewellyn is on a book tour on Earth. Her home is the 2nd Moon colony. In the pages of her novel is a scene of a man playing the violin for change in an airship terminal. Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a detective, is sent to investigate an anomaly in the North american wilderness where he uncovers a chance to do something extraordinary and disrupt the timeline of the universe." The setup takes a little while in this book. But Mandel's words and characters are so easy to read. I liked how Mandel gives us little hints about the story and then ties it together. It's interesting to be inside Gaspery's head. even when you're left wondering - Is it or isn't it? I also like the time-travel element. Mandel doesn’t focus on the mechanics of it - it’s just accepted that it’s a thing. Just like the moon colonies. She makes you believe in their reality. A nice multi-genre book from St. John Mandel. #seaoftranquility #emilystjohnmandel #knopf #aaknopf #timetravel #scifi #characterdrivenscifi #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #readersofig #bookreview #bookwormlife #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs (at The Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbxFk5_rkOe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Station Eleven By Emily St John Mandel has been on my TBR List since May! Oops. “What was lost in the collapse: almost everything, almost everyone, but there is still such beauty. One snowy night in Toronto famous actor Arthur Leander dies on stage whilst performing the role of a lifetime. That same evening a deadly virus touches down in North America. The World will never be the same. Twenty years later Kirsten, an actress in the Travelling Symphony, performs Shakespeare in the settlements that have grown up since the collapse. But then her newly hopeful world is threatened. If civilisation was lost, what would you preserve? And how far would you go to protect it?” #nowreading #stationeleven #emilystjohnmandel #book #greatreads #reading #author #books #booknerd #booklover #bookcommunity #bookaddict #booksbooksbooks #positivevibes #bookvibes #readingvibes #foodforthebrain #positivewaves #metalhobbit (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZkCxy7skyg/?utm_medium=tumblr
