I thought this would be a book solely about isolation and what a future with a devastating flu outbreak would look like. There was so much more to this book, and the way the story traversed in and out of the pre and post collapse was fantastic.

This book is so well written and hits home so very hard as an artist following the Covid pandemic. I want to recommend this book for everyone who was/is an artist, or who enjoys art, or who had art help them through the pandemic. This is such a beautiful and compelling story.

"Hell is the absence of the people you long for."
Station Eleven est le genre de livre qui est avant tout un voyage, avant d'être une destination. On suit un casting de personnages divers qui font face à la fin du monde tel qu'on le connaît actuellement, et qui rappelle énormément cette période étrange au début de la pandémie, en 2020, avec les quarantaines, les confinements, les interrogations de chacun quant à la situation.
L'intrigue se déroule à la fois au "présent", environ 20 ans après l'apocalypse, et nous emporte également dans le passé des personnages, avant, pendant et après l'apparition de la maladie qui a tout changé. J'ai beaucoup aimé la plume de l'autrice, le rythme qu'elle a influé au roman, avec ses passages courts mais marquants. Je me suis retrouvée à m'attacher à quasiment tous les personnages, même ceux que je regardais de travers au début, et je trouve que c'est un véritable talent pour une autrice.
J'ai hâte de découvrir d'autres histoires par la même autrice !
There is so much that is beautiful and devastating about this novel that I was swept off my feet and didn’t land until I had finished it less than a day later. I would talk about theme and characters and action but what impressed me the most is how skillfully the story, and stories within it, unfold and are resolved. I loved it. Highly recommended.
