<\/a>Sea of Tranquility<\/a> by Emily St. John Mandel<\/a>

My rating: 5 of 5 stars<\/a>


I feel that the less said about the plot of Sea of Tranquility<\/a> the better. It’s best to go into this novel with no expectations and just let Emily St. John Mandel<\/a> take you along for the ride. And it’s a great ride. You meet richly drawn characters that you care about, but you never quite know where this expansive, yet efficiently-told story is going. This is a literary science fiction novel that touches on big, existential questions: who you are, the choices you make in life, and the forces beyond your control. St. John Mandel, who also wrote Station Eleven<\/a> and The Glass Hotel<\/a>, has definitely become one of my favorite authors. Very highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
