Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A unique book which I devoured in a couple of days. The only comparison I had to a story like this one was The Road- I'm not sure why but I was surprised by how different this story was to McCarthy's novel. Multiple stories come together to bring this story alive: Miranda's imaginary Station Eleven universe, the theatrical (pre- and post-pandemic) worlds embodied by the protagonist, Arthur and Clark's parallel rise to success in their respective fields. No character can really be described as marginal and it was a pleasure to see all lines cross at the end.
