The Glass Hotel
by Emily St. John Mandel
This novel has been on my TBR for the longest time and I kept putting it off because of the mixed reviews. But I love her work, so when it popped up on the Lucky Day shelf at my library I grabbed it - and I’m so glad I did. I can see how this novel, and Sea of Tranquility for that matter, is not for everyone: it is not linear, it is excessively character driven, delves deep into the minutiae of their lives, and has completely unexplained magical realism. I LOVE IT GIVE ME MORE. Something about her writing just absolutely enchants me and I could not put this book down. I think that the spot on atmospheric writing about the Pacific Northwest captivated me especially.
