À propos de cet audio

GILLER PRIZE FINALIST

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER

From the bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility, an exhilarating novel set at the glittering intersection of two seemingly disparate events—the exposure of a massive criminal enterprise and the mysterious disappearance of a woman from a ship at sea

Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star glass-and-cedar palace on the northernmost tip of Vancouver Island. The owner of the hotel is New York financier Jonathan Alkaitis. When he passes Vincent his card with a tip, it’s the beginning of their life together. That same day, a hooded figure scrawls a message on the wall of the hotel: “Why don’t you swallow broken glass?” Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for a company called Neptune-Avramidis, sees the note and is shaken to his core. Thirteen years later, Vincent mysteriously disappears from the deck of a Neptune-Avramidis ship.

Weaving together the lives of these characters, The Glass Hotel moves between the ship, the skyscrapers of Manhattan and the wilderness of remote British Columbia, painting a breathtaking picture of greed and guilt, fantasy and delusion, art and the ghosts of our pasts.

The second book by this author I have loved. I love that there is similarities between the two of them but that the stories are completely different. If you like stories with lots of parallel and intertwined storylines, you will enjoy this book. If you are Canadian, you will appreciate the imagry and familiarity of the descriptions of our two largest cities. Great characters, great book. Can't wait for the next.

that's kind of it. just didn't love or hate any character. didn't feel much tension. didn't feel compelled to understand a mystery. well-written but not compelling.

not sure I felt anything throughout the book.

I entered this book expected more than what it was. It was OK. Maybe I missed the point of the book. Sometimes that happens.

Reminded me of Madoff

This was really an interesting read (listen). Adored the multiple character storylines and the ebb and flow between them all. The variety and description of settings was beautiful. It was “heavy” feeling at times. Sad. Mournful. The story was unique enough to keep me engaged, though. Recommended.
