描述

Emily St. John Mandel once again captivates readers with her masterful storytelling in this latest novel. Set against a backdrop that intertwines time and space, the narrative weaves together the lives of various characters across different eras. As their paths converge, readers are drawn into a complex tapestry of emotions, exploring themes of love, loss, and the enduring nature of human connection.

With her signature lyrical prose, Mandel creates a hauntingly beautiful narrative that prompts reflection on the essence of existence. The characters, each grappling with their own struggles and aspirations, journey through a world fraught with uncertainty, yet imbued with moments of striking clarity. This novel invites readers to ponder the fragility of time and the profound impact of choices, leaving an indelible mark long after the final page is turned.

I liked that parts of this story were set in Canada — it’s always nice reading about places you actually know. That said, I found it harder to follow than something like a Blake Crouch time-travel story. The fragmented timeline and literary tone made it feel more abstract, and I had to work a bit to stay oriented. Still, I did enjoy it overall, and I’ll definitely read more from Mandel — her writing has a quiet depth that sticks with you.
