INTERNATIONAL 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. “The perfect novel ...
Freshly mysterious.” —The Washington Post Vincent is a bartender
at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star lodging on the northernmost tip of
Vancouver Island. On the night she meets Jonathan Alkaitis, a hooded
figure scrawls a message on the lobby's glass wall: Why don’t you
swallow broken glass. High above Manhattan, a greater crime is
committed: Alkaitis's billion-dollar business is really nothing more
than a game of smoke and mirrors. When his scheme collapses, it
obliterates countless fortunes and devastates lives. Vincent, who had
been posing as Jonathan’s wife, walks away into the night. Years
later, a victim of the fraud is hired to investigate a strange
occurrence: a woman has seemingly vanished from the deck of a
container ship between ports of call. In this captivating story of
crisis and survival, Emily St. John Mandel takes readers through often
hidden landscapes: campgrounds for the near-homeless, underground
electronica clubs, service in luxury hotels, and life in a federal
prison. Rife with unexpected beauty, The Glass Hotel is a captivating
portrait of greed and guilt, love and delusion, ghosts and unintended
consequences, and the infinite ways we search for meaning in our
lives. Look for Emily St. John Mandel’s bestselling new novel, Sea
of Tranquility!
