@RachaelRad @sippey This is a great book and very different (in plot at least) to Station Eleven in case you were worried about stumbling into more pandemic content. – source2020-03-16T00:00:00.000Z
I am a big fan of Emily St. John Mandel's novels Station Eleven (about a pandemic, by the way, I promise you that is a coincidence), and the new forthcoming The Glass Hotel. – source
