NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The award-winning best-selling author of Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel returns with a novel of art time travel love and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon five hundred years later unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space. One of the Best Books of the Year: The New York Times NPR GoodReads “One of [Mandel’s] finest novels and one of her most satisfying forays into the arena of speculative fiction yet.” — The New York Times Edwin St. Andrew is eighteen years old when he crosses the Atlantic by steamship exiled from polite society following an ill-conceived diatribe at a dinner party. He enters the forest spellbound by the beauty of the Canadian wilderness and suddenly hears the notes of a violin echoing in an airship terminal—an experience that shocks him to his core.  Two centuries later a famous writer named Olive Llewellyn is on a book tour. She’s traveling all over Earth but her home is the second moon colony a place of white stone spired towers and artificial beauty. Within the text of Olive’s best-selling pandemic 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 the North American wilderness he uncovers a series of lives upended: The exiled son of an earl 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. A virtuoso performance that is as human and tender as it is intellectually playful Sea of Tranquility is a novel of time travel and metaphysics that precisely captures the reality of our current moment.
