ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Sea of Tranquility” by Emily St. John Mandel explores the interconnected lives of several characters across different time periods, linked by a series of mysterious temporal anomalies. The story follows Edwin, an exiled Englishman in 1912, Mirella in 2020 grappling with her past, Olive, a novelist from a moon colony in 2203, and Gaspery, a time-traveling investigator. Themes of isolation, pandemics, and the fragility of human existence are explored, alongside philosophical questions about reality, free will, and fate. The narrative examines the impact of time on human lives and the art we create to survive it.
