Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, Hardcover Book

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel An audacious, darkly glittering novel set in the eerie days following civilization's collapse, Station Eleven tells the spellbinding story of a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity. It is fifteen years after a flu pandemic wiped out most of the world's population. Kirsten is an actress with the Traveling Symphony, a small troupe moving over the gutted landscape, performing Shakespeare and music for scattered communities of survivors. But when they arrive at the outpost of St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who digs graves for anyone who dares to leave. Spanning decades, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the disaster brought everyone here, this suspenseful, elegiac novel tells a story about the relationships that sustain us. - Hardcover - A finalist for the National Book Award - Named a Best Book of the Twenty-First Century by the New York Times - In good condition, sign of wears on the cover jacket
