Station Eleven

Brilliantly executed

Effortlessly weaves through different eras, memories, stories, and people. I was deeply struck by the reality of the characters even as they lived through such a (hopefully) unrealistic scenario. It's masterfully written with lines that catch you even asylum skip ahead to find out what happens. Toronto is one of my favorite cities and is beautifully rendered here with all the attention it deserves, not as a Hollywood stand-in but as the major metropolis it actually is. I'll think of Kirsten, Javeen, August, Arthur, Miranda, and Clark often and I can already tell that future re-reads will be tinged with sadness for not being able to re-read Station Eleven again for the first time.
