World builder is a phrase that's rightly used to describe Emily Mandel's immersive powers as a novelist. I didn't just read <i>Station Eleven</i>, <i>The Glass Hotel</i> or <i>Sea of Tranquility</i>. I lived in those novels
- Maureen Corrigan, NPR
From Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony of the moon three hundred years later. The Sunday Times bestseller, Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel is a story of parallel worlds and possibilities that plays with the very line along which time should run.
'A cunning time-travel narrative . . . unputdownable' - Guardian Best Books of the Year
'So wise, so graceful, so rich' - Naomi Alderman, author of The Power
Lives separated by time and space have collided, and an exiled Englishman, a writer trapped far from home, and a girl destined to die too young, have each glimpsed a world that is not their own.
Travelling through the centuries, between colonies on the moon and an ever-changing Earth, together their lives will solve a mystery that will make you question everything you thought you knew to be true.
From the award-winning author of Station Eleven.
