A second son charting his future, a young girl playing with her camera, and an author completing her book tour are united by the strains of a violin and mechanical sounds heard deep in the forest of British Columbia. Centuries later, a man named Gaspery searches for answers about the anomaly the connects these people scattered across time and space. In this contemplative, compassionate novel, Emily St. John Mandel contemplates our current moment and the many ways the world might end.
