Emily St. John Mandel, the award-winning author of Station Eleven,
returns with a novel of time travel that precisely captures the
reality of our current moment. Sea of Tranquility is a virtuoso
performance and an enormously exciting offering from one of our
most remarkable writers. In 1912, eighteen-year-old Edwin St.
Andrew crosses the Atlantic, exiled from English polite society. In
British Columbia, he enters the forest, spellbound by the beauty of
the Canadian wilderness, and for a split second all is darkness,
the notes of a violin echoing unnaturally through the air. The
experience shocks him to his core. Two centuries later Olive
Llewelyn, a famous writer, is traveling all over Earth, far away
from her home in the second moon colony. Within the text of Olive's
bestselling novel lies a strange passage: a man plays his violin
for change in the echoing corridor of an airship terminal as the
trees of a forest rise around him. When Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a
detective in the black-skied Night City, is hired to investigate an
anomaly in time, he uncovers a series of lives upended: the exiled
son of an aristocrat driven to madness, a writer trapped far from
home as a pandemic ravages Earth, and a childhood friend from the
Night City who, like Gaspery himself, has glimpsed the chance to do
something extraordinary that will disrupt the timeline of the
universe. Sea of Tranquility is a novel that investigates the idea
of parallel worlds and possibilities, that plays with the very line
along which time should run. Perceptive and poignant about art, and
love, and what we must do to survive, it is incredibly compelling.
