He enters the forest, spellbound by the beauty of the Canadian wilderness, and suddenly hears the notes of a violin echoing in <u class="showmore_hide">an airship terminal--an experience that shocks him to his core. Two centuries later a famous writer named Olive Llewellyn is on a book tour. She's traveling all over Earth, but her home is the second moon colony, a place of white stone, spired towers, and artificial beauty. Within the text of Olive's best-selling pandemic novel lies a strange passage: a man plays his violin for change in the echoing corridor of an airship terminal as the trees of a forest rise around him. When Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a detective in the black-skied Night City, is hired to investigate an anomaly in the North American wilderness, he uncovers a series of lives upended: The exiled son of an earl driven to madness, a writer trapped far from home as a pandemic ravages Earth, and a childhood friend from the Night City who, like Gaspery himself, has glimpsed the chance to do something extraordinary that will disrupt the timeline of the universe"--From the publisher's web site.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_2bf136c5');">more</a>)</span></div

up on me, and then I found I couldn’t stop reading. So evocative. Such richly drawn characters; even if they are only in a few scenes, they seem very real to the reader. The author deftly weaves some deeply complex themes into the story and I will be thinking about them for some time. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss10.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_274764642" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_274764642"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_274764642" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_274764642" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_274764642"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/katmarhan" target="_top">katmarhan</a> | Nov 6, 2024 | <a href="/review/274764642"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_273730687" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/26848793" data-workid="26848793" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0593321448.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0593321448.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0593321448.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>Well, I didn't love this.

Just beautifully written. So many characters... but each had a distinct name, role and 'voice' and so it was not difficult to keep track of them.<br><br>I also appreciate details. Like revealing that one minor character is a know-nothing blowhard because he locates PEI near Vancouver. And the names of the pandemics, indicating that they're recurrent. And the revelation that colonies on the moon will wear out and be victims of people who create graffiti and garbage. (However we apparently have figured out how clean up our act on climate change.) (And yet we've not become less sexist, like someone assuming the female author probably writes children's books.)<br><br>I could say more, but you can either accept my recommendation that, if you liked Station Eleven, don't put off reading this any longer, or you can visit our Time Travel discussion here: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/22543961-sea-of-tranquility-july-2023?" rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/22543961-sea-of-tranquility-july-2023?</a> <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_273629549" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_273629549"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_273629549" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_273629549" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_273629549"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/Cheryl_in_CC_NV" target="_top">Cheryl_in_CC_NV</a> | Oct 18, 2024 | <a href="/review/273629549"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class='reviewnav'><div class="right"><strong><a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,3,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','26848793','',false, null, 'profile');return false;">date<span class="sortArrow"> ▼</span></a></strong> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,2,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','26848793','',false, null, 'profile');

He enters the forest, spellbound by the beauty of the Canadian wilderness, and suddenly hears the notes of a violin echoing in an airship terminal--an experience that shocks him to his core. Two centuries later a famous writer named Olive Llewellyn is on a book tour. She's traveling all over Earth, but her home is the second moon colony, a place of white stone, spired towers, and artificial beauty. Within the text of Olive's best-selling pandemic novel lies a strange passage: a man plays his violin for change in the echoing corridor of an airship terminal as the trees of a forest rise around him. When Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a detective in the black-skied Night City, is hired to investigate an anomaly in the North American wilderness, he uncovers a series of lives upended: The exiled son of an earl driven to madness, a writer trapped far from home as a pandemic ravages Earth, and a childhood friend from the Night City who, like Gaspery himself, has glimpsed the chance to do something extraordinary that will disrupt the timeline of the universe"--From the publisher's web site.</div></div><div id="workpagesort_25" class="quickedit light"><div class="nav"><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'libdesc', 'u_33c2f064', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Library descriptions</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_33c2f064" style="display:block;"><p>No library descriptions found.</p></div></div><div id="workpagesort_70" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Common_Knowledge#LibraryThing_members.27_description" class="blacklink" title="Help"><img style="vertical-align:middle;" class="helpIcon" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/helpq.png" alt="?"></a></span></div><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'ckdesc', 'u_a02b72b0', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>LibraryThing members' description</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_a02b72b0" style="display:block;"> <div class="workSection"> <table class="fwikiContainerTable ch2"> <tr> <td valign="top" class="fwikiLabel">Book description</td> <td><table class="fwikiGroup"><tr><td class='fwikiField' id='u_6687af7b' itemType='1' itemNum='26848793' fieldType='14' name='u_6687af7b' allowmultiple='0' hasHistory = '0' fieldName = 'description' uitype = '3' ltlang='eng' hint = 'This is a general description.
