6/5/2023 0 Comments Review of sea of tranquilityOlive, like Mirella, finds herself talking to a man who calls himself Gaspery Roberts. Olive lives with her husband and daughter in Colony Two on the moon. The narrative skips ahead again, to the year 2203, when writer Olive Llewellyn is on a book tour, talking to audiences on Earth about her bestselling pandemic novel. Gaspery wants to know about a glitchy moment that Vincent captured on video years ago. (Readers of Mandel’s fifth novel, The Glass Hotel, will recognize Mirella and Vincent.) Mirella finds herself talking to a stranger, Gaspery Roberts, who seems familiar. The narrative then leaps to 2020 in New York City, where Mirella Kessler is trying to discern her friend Vincent’s whereabouts. Edwin lands in Caiette, a remote settlement in British Columbia, where he experiences something that cannot be easily explained, and encounters a strange man named Roberts who claims to be a priest. Andrew, the aimless youngest son of an English earl, makes his way across Canada. Sea of Tranquility opens in 1912, as Edwin St. John Mandel, author of the award-winning, bestselling Station Eleven, is a time-travel puzzle that connects a disparate band of characters.
