A review by sandiet
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
4.0
One of Canada Reads 2023 Five Finalists.
This is the 2nd book of the five I've read/listened to. I was rushed to listen (Skip-The-Line copy) so I will be revisiting this one in print. Dystopian novel about a global pandemic (a flu that kills within hours of contracting it) and the catastrophic aftermath decades later. Obviously difficult to read now that we've experienced a real pandemic but I'm in awe of the author's vivid imagination. I look forward to reading the print version. Recommended only if you can stomach more discussions on the pandemic.
