What he finds is something far more inexplicable.Īuthor Olive Llewelyn lives in 2203 and is the Ariadne Oliver of this book, if you will. I think you can enjoy this book without having read her previous ones, but knowing their stories definitely adds to the experience here.Ĭharacters we met previously in The Glass Hotel, Vincent and Paul, appear, along with some new ones including Edwin, the second son of a British aristocratic family who, in 1912, ends up in Canada to try and find his purpose in life. John Mandel’s previous books, Station Eleven or The Glass Hotel among them, then you’ll have a grasp of both the themes she explores and a backstory for the plot of Sea of Tranquility. The first moon colony was built on the silent flatlands of the Sea of Tranquility, near where the Apollo 11 astronauts had landed in a long-ago century. A wonderful, thoughtful, huge-scoping adventure. That might sound like a lot to pack into less than 300 pages but the words just flow so lyrically and the story execution is tight. It sets up the plot intrigue, layers in the evocative human angle, references the pandemic situation we find ourselves in and sets it all against a grand time-travelling backdrop that takes us from from 1912 to 2401.
Quite simply, Sea of Tranquility by Emily St.
