Sea Of Tranquility

Beskrivelse

Sea of Tranquility is a gripping novel that weaves together lives across centuries, exploring time, art, and survival. From a young man in 1912 to a writer in a lunar colony, their stories intersect in mysterious and profound ways.

A captivating journey through time and parallel worlds, blending mystery, love, and the human spirit.

Emily St. John Mandel delivers a masterful narrative that spans centuries and continents. In 1912, Edwin St. Andrew, an eighteen-year-old cast out from English high society, journeys across the Atlantic. Entranced by the Canadian wilderness, he experiences a surreal moment of darkness accompanied by haunting violin notes that shake him deeply.

Fast forward two hundred years, and Olive Llewelyn, a renowned author living in the second moon colony, travels the Earth. Hidden within her bestselling novel is an enigmatic scene: a man playing violin for spare change in an airship terminal, surrounded by rising forest trees.

Meanwhile, Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a detective working in the shadowy Night City, investigates a temporal anomaly. His inquiry reveals intertwined lives disrupted by fate-a nobleman's son driven to madness, a writer isolated during a devastating pandemic, and a childhood friend who, like Gaspery, glimpses a chance to alter the universe’s timeline.

Sea of Tranquility delves into the concept of parallel realities and the fragile boundaries of time. It’s a thoughtful and moving exploration of art, love, plague, and the lengths we go to endure. Recognized as one of the Best Books of 2022 by The Guardian, Oprah Daily, and Barack Obama, this novel showcases Mandel’s extraordinary storytelling prowess.
