Featured Title:

Sea of Tranquility

by Emily St. John Mandel

Station Eleven author Mandel returns with a twisty time-travel novel that spans more than four centuries, from 1912 to 2401. As with her previous books, Mandel spins out multiple story lines that slowly connect with each other and with her previous books. One of the featured characters in Sea of Tranquility is a novelist on book tour repeatedly answering the same questions about a pandemic novel suspiciously reminiscent of Station Eleven.
