In this captivating tale of imagination and ambition, a seemingly disparate array of people come into contact with a time traveler who must resist the pull to change the past and the future. The cast includes a British exile on the West Coast of Canada in the early 1900s; the author of a best-selling novel about a fictional pandemic who embarks on a galaxy-spanning book tour during the outbreak of an actual pandemic; a resident of a moon colony almost 300 years in the future; and a lonely girl who films an old-growth forest and experiences a disruption in the recording.

Publisher's Summary
Shortlisted for The Scotiabank Giller Prize
A Time Magazine Must Read Book of 2020
A Globe and Mail Top 100 Book of the Year
Number One National Best Seller
New York Times Best Seller
From the award-winning author of Station Eleven, a captivating novel of money, beauty, white-collar crime, ghosts, and moral compromise in which a woman disappears from a container ship off the coast of Mauritania and a massive Ponzi scheme implodes in New York, dragging countless fortunes with it.
Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star glass-and-cedar palace on the northernmost tip of Vancouver Island. New York financier Jonathan Alkaitis owns the hotel. 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 note on the windowed 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 from the hotel bar 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 2020 Scotiabank Giller Prize Audlib Project
A single rose bush in a courtyard serves as the centerpiece for a sequence of stories of vastly different lives with unexpected connections. A young girl dares to test her limits of safety, a woman is pained by a tragic loss and the stigma she now carries because of it, and a neighbour wishes for connection and understanding in a deeply divided time. An expat yearns to be closer to her treasured family members, and a café owner grapples with the changes that gradually eat away at her in small but significant ways.

Outstanding Narration and Beautiful Ending
Dylan Moore's narration made the listen at once compelling and relaxing. it was perfect for this story. Now that it has ended I still want her in my ears. The novel was intriguing, transported me effectively to many captivating settings and ends beautifully. Overall, this recording is a fine work of art.

character switcheroo
Like Station 11, author pulls a switcheroo where the characters in first half of book are not main characters in second half. Didn't care much about them. Author should tighten it up, focus on main arc.

Good but not Great (Well Narrated)
I was hoping for another Station 11 but this one falls well short.
It lacks the mystery and compelling storyline that Station 11 had.
The drama was well written and I connected with the character but the storyline left me asking the question so what?
The narration is well done. The distinction between characters is achieved through subtle changes in the narrator’s voice. A few of the accents were a bit off but not enough to take away from the plot.

Nothing Happens
I stuck with this because it was recommended to me, but I have no idea what I just listened to. way too many different characters and too much jumping around in time, between different people and even someone's imagination. I have no idea what this book was supposed to be about. I couldn't even name more than 3 or 4 of the main characters. I want those hours of my life back.

Probably a better read than audiobook
There are a lot of characters and it jumps around in time a lot. I prefer more sequentiality told stories and found this one hard to follow. The topic of ponzi schemes was hard to relate to. I think the author is trying to say a lot in this book. To much. It will only be memorable in that it was so difficult to stick with and so completely disappointing in its ending. Overall a pretty depressing story.
