About this listen

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.

'So wise, so graceful, so rich' - Naomi Alderman, author of The Power
'Ingenious' - Guardian

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)
An ambitious time-travelling panorama of pandemics and parallel worlds
Even more boldly imagined than Station Eleven. Exciting to read, relevant, and satisfying.
Readers of Mandel’s Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel will not be disappointed by her latest, a generous and elegant novel about art and family and time travel
Ingenious . . . Hugely ambitious in scope, yet also intimate and written with a graceful and beguiling fluency . . . It conveys the vertiginous sense of a reality that transcends a single existence and feels simultaneously poignant, celebratory and uncanny
A time travel epic: a soaring story of connections through the ages. Mandel has this knack for grounding science fiction in the here and now, something that fills her writing with profound and life-affirming humanity
An inventive, haunting, and tender time-travel story that underscores the importance and resilience of art
The four narrators who deliver Mandel’s newest novel create a mesmerizing listening experience full of time shifts. Kirsten Potter shines as an author on a book tour at the beginning of a 2200s pandemic; her increasingly worried observations hit close to home. Dylan Moore brings a perfect mix of malaise and inertia to her characterization of a young woman living in 2020 New York. John Lee effortlessly transports listeners from British Columbia in 1918 to the moon colonies of the twenty-fifth century. Arthur Morey’s beautiful, throaty narration of the final section, about a man from the moon colonies whose life is changed forever by a mysterious government job, is haunting and familiar. These interlocking storylines offer a poignant and surprising exploration of love, art, and the beauty of everyday life.

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.

Amazing listen!

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!

Best SiFi Book of last year!

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.

Performance is perfect. Good enough imo.

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.

Superbly boring
