It is heaven to be immersed in the waters of Mandel's imagination, she is always able to see past the present moment to the futures it contains and the past that informed it. Her perspective is so wise, so graceful, so rich and - despite everything - comforting. I loved Sea of Tranquility
A spiralling, transportive triumph of storytelling - sci-fi with soul
An ambitious time-travelling panorama of pandemics and parallel worlds
Even more boldly imagined than Station Eleven. Exciting to read, relevant, and satisfying.
