Publisher's Summary

From the bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility—when Lilia Albert was a child, her father appeared on the doorstep of her mother's house and took her away. Now, haunted by an inability to remember much about her early childhood, Lilia moves restlessly from city to city, abandoning lovers and eluding the private detective who has dedicated a career to following close behind.

Then comes Eli. When Lilia goes out for a paper and fails to return to their Brooklyn apartment, he follows her to Montreal, not knowing whether he wants to disappear, too, or help her find her way home. But what he discovers is a deeper mystery, one that will set past and present spinning toward collision.

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

I had to stop listening

I tried so hard to keep going even though the story was developing at an unbearably slow pace but when they started describing Montrealers as people who don’t welcome anglophones and bill 101 I had to stop. Typical exaggeration written from the point of view of an anglo who comes from “Rest of Canada”. Ugh get over it, Most Montrealers are bilingual and we don’t all love to eat poutine…
