*Though this is marketed as a standalone, I would highly recommend that you read The Glass Hotel prior.*
Wow. Excuse me while I go buy every book Emily has written. I really enjoyed Station Eleven when I read it last year, and was pleased to be approved to read Sea of Tranquility. By chance I saw a review that mentioned you should read The Glass Hotel first, so I dutifully ordered and devoured it, and I'd definitely recommend reading it prior.
The Sea of Tranquility is a book about Gaspery, a man who through luck (?) becomes an investigator of anomalies in time - though this doesn't quite describe what the book is about. Maybe it's about a violinist, the moon, or an author, or a pandemic...it's about them all and I can see me thinking about it for a long time.
