“Sea of Tranquility” is a bold and exciting novel. Emily St John Mandel explores modern-day concerns while travelling backwards and forwards in time
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskThe characters in the Canadian author’s latest book find themselves struggling to make sense of a moment of dislocation, rather than a life-changing disaster. Compared with its predecessors, the low-stakes set-up hints at a scaled-back drama. But “Sea of Tranquility” proves to be a bold and exciting novel, which manages to explore modern-day concerns while travelling in and out of the familiar world and backwards and forwards in time.
The next section unfolds in New York in 2020. Paul Smith, a composer and video artist, shows his audience footage of his half-sister Vincent—a main character in “The Glass Hotel”—having a similarly strange experience in a forest. Then in 2203 Olive Llewellyn, an author, leaves her home in the second Moon colony and journeys to the Atlantic Republic on Earth to promote her novel about a pandemic, just as a new virus is rearing its head in Australia.
