«Ninguna estrella arde para siempre». En 1912, Edwin St. Andrew busca una nueva vida en la colonia británica de Columbia al ser exiliado por sus ideas políticas. En 2020, Mirella busca a la responsable de la muerte de su marido. En 2203, Olive Llewelyn, autora de éxito, viaja por la Tierra para promocionar un libro que, aunque ella no lo sabe, será profético. En 2401, el detective Gaspery-Jacques Roberts es contratado para investigar una anomalía en el tiempo. Pronto descubrirá que sus acciones pueden cambiar el rumbo de la historia. Y a todos ellos los une una melodía de violín, tocada en una terminal aeroespacial, y un arce milenario que trascienden el espacio y el tiempo. El mar de la tranquilidad es una novela que investiga la idea de universos y posibilidades paralelas, que juega con la propia línea que debería seguir el tiempo, y que habla sobre el arte, el amor y las relaciones humanas. La nueva novela de la autora de El hotel de cristal; best seller del Sunday Times y del New York Times.
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • The award-winning, best-selling author of Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel returns with a novel of art, time travel, love, and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon five hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space.“One of [Mandel’s] finest novels and one of her most satisfying forays into the arena of speculative fiction yet.” —The New York TimesEdwin St. Andrew is eighteen years old when he crosses the Atlantic by steamship, exiled from polite society following an ill-conceived diatribe at a dinner party. 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.A virtuoso performance that is as human and tender as it is intellectually playful, Sea of Tranquility is a novel of time travel and metaphysics that precisely captures the reality of our current moment."
