Hey therem RBC! How is it possible that we're already jumping into August?? But! New month means new book. This month we're reading Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven, a science fiction novel published in 2014 and winning the Arthur C. Clark Award in 2015.
Station Eleven, taking place in a world ravaged by a flu pandemic, follows the lives of various survivors and meanders through the mapping of how their lives intersect in a group of actors called the Traveling Symphony. Within this bleak setting, the novel "tells a story about the relationships that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it."
