What was lost in the collapse: almost everything, almost everyone, but
there is still such beauty.One snowy night in Toronto famous actor
Arthur Leander
dies on stage whilst performing the role of a lifetime. That same
evening a deadly virus touches down in North
America. The world will never be the same again. Twenty years later
Kirsten, an actress in the Travelling
Symphony, performs Shakespeare in the settlements that have grown up
since the collapse. But then her newly
hopeful world is threatened.
If civilization was lost, what would you preserve? And how far would you go to protect it?
'BEST NOVEL. The big one . . . One of the 2014 books that I did read stands above all the others: Station Eleven,
by Emily St. John Mandel . . . beautifully written, and wonderfully elegiac, a book that I will long remember,
and return to.' -George R.R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones 'Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven is that rare find
that feels familiar and extraordinary at the same time. This is truly something special' -Erin Morgenstern,
author of The Night Circus Glorious, unexpected, superbly written; just try putting it down. -The Times
