Über diesen Titel
From the bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility—Gavin Sasaki was a promising young journalist in New York City until the day he was fired for plagiarism.

The last thing he wants is to sell foreclosed real estate for his sister Eilo’s company in their Florida hometown, but he’s in no position to refuse her job offer. Plus, there’s another reason to go home: Eilo recently met a ten-year-old girl who looks very much like Gavin and has the same last name as his high-school girlfriend, Anna, who left town abruptly after graduation.

Determined to find out if this little girl might be his daughter, Gavin sets off to track down Anna, starting with the three friends they shared back when he was part of a jazz group called “The Lola Quartet.” As Gavin pieces together their stories, he learns that Anna has been on the run for good reason, and soon his investigation into her sudden disappearance all those years ago takes a seriously dangerous turn.

Look for Emily St. John Mandel’s bestselling new novel, Sea of Tranquility!

Kritikerstimmen

“[An] ingeniously constructed literary thriller.”— Minneapolis Star Tribune

“[An] elegant, hypnotic novel. . . . An elegy for lost—and perhaps only imagined—innocence.” —The Washington Post

“Compelling. . . . Perhaps all novelists can be said to wrestle with morality; Mandel seems to wrestle with it at greater length and in greater depth than most. . . . First-rate fiction.” —Dallas Morning News

“A novel noir that wears its influences proudly on the beige sleeve of its trench coat…. Delightful.” —Paste

“Trumpets [Mandel’s] talents: her charismatic verbal grace and acuity, the rich atmosphere she creates.” —The Boston Globe

“Emily St. John Mandel is astonishing.” —Emma Straub, author of The Vacationers

“[Mandel] is a stunningly beautiful writer whose complex, flawed, and well-drawn characters linger with you.” —Sarah McCarry, Tor.com

“Fascinating.” —Booklist

“Riveting. . . . Evocative, intriguing, and complex, this novel is as smooth as the underbelly of a deadly, furtive reptile.” —Library Journal (starred review)

“A rewarding read.” —Foreword magazine

“Result[s] in both sophistication and suspense.” —Publishers Weekly

“[Mandel’s] writing is pure elegance.” —Patrick DeWitt, author of Sisters Brothers

Emily St. John Mandel depicts four adults in their late 20ies struggling with their lives that just do not work out. In retrospect, something that was only meant to be a start, their high school band, becomes a reference point of good times past. The story sets off when the protagonist Gavin finds out his high school girl friend Anna was pregnant before she disappeared and he has got a daughter. What folliws is an intricaltly woven thrilling mystery, crime and detective story, but mostly a portrait of people trying to make the right choices. In the end, no one is saved, some are lost and for some there is hope. But Emily St. John Mandel refreins from any all too simple answers. She leaves her protagpnists and the reader with the task to make the best of it without promise of success but with a lot of love for people being unperfect.

Sad and beautiful
