This Is (By Far) The Best Fiction Book I’ve Ever Read
A review of Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
Most fiction books are mediocre.
Millions are published every year. Yet, very few authors are New York Times Bestsellers & have their novels adapted into TV shows.
That’s why Emily St. John Mandel is different. Her recent book, Sea Of Tranquility, is my favorite novel of 2022. And in this article, I’m going to give several reasons why you should read it as soon as possible.
What’s The Book About?
It’s “a novel of art, time, love, and plague,” per Goodreads. “It takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon three hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space.”
In 1912, Edwin entered a forest enchanted by the grandeur of Canada’s wilderness. However, he is taken aback to hear a violin reverberating in an airship terminal hundreds of years later.
Two centuries later, a famous author, Olive Llewellyn, is on a book tour. A strange passage appears in her novel: “a man plays his violin in the echoing hallway of an airship terminal while the trees of a forest rise around him.”
