It’s been a long time since a novel brought me to tears. Station Eleven did that. Beautiful, reflective, captivating, thought-provoking.

Reading this in 2023 is crazyyyyy. Did St. John Mandel know something everyone else didn’t? I’m glad I just finished reading this after putting it aside when I came back from summer vacation, though I’m sure there’s some stuff I forgot in the months in between that made the reading of the latter half a bit less comprehensible. Based on the structure of this book, I’m surprised it wasn’t more confusing but it’s quite well written, especially in distinguishing different characters, locales and times. Yay canlit!
