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.

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.

Interesting characters and very good writing, but I could not seem to engage with any of them. I wanted more from each, and when I thought that I was close, I wasn’t. Will try another book by this author.

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.

Great story!!! Love how it all tied together. Would highly recommend for a good listen or read. I’ll be checking out other books by Mandel in the near future.

Loved It!!!

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.

The book is excellent, but there were issues with the performance which distracted from the story. The accents were bad, particularly an attempt at sounding Australian. I think I laughed out loud when I heard that one. The work etcetera is used many time in this novel and every time, the narrator pronounced it "ecetera", which just kills whatever momentum or mood the story had generated. Oh, and nuclear was pronounce "nucular".

Great story, sub-par performance

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.

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

I live ESJM's writing but this one did not involve subjects or characters of interest.
