Station Eleven

Author: Emily St. John Mandel

In this haunting tale of survival and hope, Mandel weaves together the lives of a traveling Shakespearean troupe in a post-apocalyptic world. As civilization crumbles after a devastating flu pandemic, art and human connection become lifelines. The story jumps between timelines, exploring the before and after of societal collapse through richly drawn characters. I found myself captivated by Mandel’s lyrical prose and her ability to find beauty in the darkest of circumstances. A thought-provoking exploration of what truly matters when everything falls apart.

Survival is insufficient.
