I can only imagine how difficult it would be to follow Station Eleven with an equally amazing book so I'll be easy on Mandel.
This is a simple story made overly complex in an effort to have everyone's lives overlap. Mandel has shown that each character's actions are the result of the actions of someone else. Following the thread of one character's life choices causes you to see that we are all linked by degrees of separation. No one can know the impact s/he has on the lives of others. I am a par ...more

I need to add more shelves--I don't have any that fit this book. I really loved it--Mandel is a wonderful writer. She takes all these varying narrative strands and weaves them together so beautifully. They seem so disparate at first, but she gradually pulls them together until they form a seamless pattern and it all makes sense. Highly recommended!

A dreamy like quality to the story that examines a ponzi scheme and the responsibility of the players surrounding the crime. A well drawn character in Vincent and the enigma of her disappearance builds the suspense and there are ghosts that add to that suspense . The supernatural works in this case. There are a few too many peripheral characters like the lead singer of a band that seemingly fail to add resolution to the overall scheme. Note: a title that made the best of 2020 circuit.
Audio. 2x just to make sure I really understood the story clearly. It was very well written but it just didn’t grab me as it has so many others. I felt the characters lacked enough depth for me to care about them.
Different. Non-linear without a single main character, but I thought it was compelling, well-written.
