Set in the eerie days of civilization’s collapse—the spellbinding story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity.
Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end.
Twenty years later, Kirsten moves between the settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony, and they have dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive. But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band’s existence. And as the story takes off, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, the strange twist of fate that connects them all will be revealed.
Critical Praise
Deeply melancholy, but beautifully written, and wonderfully elegiac. . . . A book that I will long remember, and return to. — George R. R. Martin
Station Eleven is so compelling, so fearlessly imagined, that I wouldn’t have put it down for anything. — Ann Patchett
A novel that carries a magnificent depth. . . . It’s a sweeping look at where we are, how we got here and where we might go. While her previous novels are cracking good reads, this is her best yet. — The Globe and Mail
Gracefully written and suspenseful. . . . Its evocation of the collapse of our civilization is powerful. — National Post
It’s hard to imagine a novel more perfectly suited, in both form and content, to this literary moment. — The New Yorker
