Publisher's Summary

The instant Sunday Times bestseller, Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel investigates the idea of parallel worlds and possibilities, and plays with the very line along which time should run.

Lives separated by time and space have collided, and an exiled Englishman, a writer trapped far from home, and a girl destined to die too young, have each glimpsed a world that is not their own. Travelling through the centuries, between colonies on the moon and an ever-changing Earth, together their lives will solve a mystery that will make you question everything you thought you knew to be true.

From the award-winning author of Station Eleven.

Critic Reviews

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 (Naomi Alderman, Women's Prize-winning author of The Power)
A spiralling, transportive triumph of storytelling - sci-fi with soul (Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies)

Best SiFi Book of last year!

At first, i felt the stories were random and the book was a collection of short stories.
But then they were stitched together..A tale encompassing 4 centuries!

Amazing listen!

The book starts slow with multiple time lines. But half way through the book it gets really interesting.
I enjoyed the fact that the book touches many big questions like the true nature of reality and if it even matters. The audiobook performance is superb. overall a good listen.

Performance is perfect. Good enough imo.

Didn't have any high hopes but it proved to be better than that. I think my interest in the outcome mostly got stoked by the middle of the book, up till then the world building, pacing and general descriptions did well enough to keep me immersed. The voice performance was very well thought out and I guess (because I have no idea about the print) added to the story. The end,while not completely unpredictable, was satisfying for me.

Superbly boring

Touted as the best sci-fi of the year on goodreads i got this with high expectations. It was meh at best. A whole lotta boring build up for an almost insignificant pay off in the end. Really wondering just because the story mentioned pandemic, this was selected as the best. The pandemic doesn't even play any important role in driving the story and could have been replaced by any thing else. hugely disappointed and will not be paying heed to the Goodreads top lists in the future.
