Book Details
I've waited five long years for this - and it was absolutely worth it. In this stunning and meandering story full of beautiful prose ... Set in Vancouver Island's dazzling surroundings, this is an extraordinary read.
-- Prima, Book of the MonthThe Glass Hotel may be the perfect novel for your survival bunker... Freshly mysterious... Mandel is a consummate, almost profligate world builder. One superbly developed setting gives way to the next, as her attention winds from character to character, resting long enough to explore the peculiar mechanics of each life before slipping over to the next... That Mandel manages to cover so much, so deeply is the abiding mystery of this book. The 300 pages of The Glass Hotel work harder than most 600-page novels... The disappointment of leaving one story is immediately quelled by our fascination in the next... The complex, troubled people who inhabit Mandel?s novel are vexed and haunted by their failings, driven to create ever more pleasant reflections of themselves in the glass. -- Ron Charles, The Washington PostThe question of what is real?be it love, money, place or memory?has always been at the heart of Ms. Mandel?s fiction... Her narratives snake their way across treacherous, shifting terrain. Certainties are blurred, truth becomes malleable and in The Glass Hotel the con man thrives... Lyrical, hypnotic images... suspend us in a kind of hallucinatory present where every detail is sharply defined yet queasily unreliable. A sense of unease thickens... Ms. Mandel invites us to observe her characters from a distance even as we enter their lives, a feat she achieves with remarkable skill. And if the result is a sense not only of detachment but also of desolation, then maybe that?s the point. -- Anna Mundow, Wall Street JournalAn eerie, compelling follow-up... not your grandmother?s Agatha Christie murder mystery or haunted hotel ghost story... The novel?s ongoing sense of haunting extends well beyond its ghosts... The ghosts in The Glass Hotel are directly connected to its secrets and scandals, which mirror those of our time... Like all Mandel?s novels, The Glass Hotel is flawlessly constructed... The Glass Hotel declares the world to be as bleak as it is beautiful, just like this novel. -- Rebecca Steinitz, The Boston Globe Biografía del autor Emily St. John Mandel was born in Canada and studied dance at The School of Toronto Dance Theatre.
