A review by kabrahams
Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel

4.75

Loved this even more than Station Eleven and can't help but compare the two a bit. Both deal with plagues, but I felt like the way this book dealt with them resonated with them in a different way, probably because it was written during a plague. Like with SE, I loved how the many plots wove together from a British immigrant in the wilderness of 19th century Canada to futuristic author that lives on the moon but travels to earth for a book tour, all connected by a time traveler who lives even farther in the future and has begun to investigate whether life is really just a simulation. I'll be thinking about this book for along time to come.
