Description
Arthur Leander's final performance ends in tragedy, as he dies on stage in Toronto. The same evening, a deadly virus begins to spread across North America, forever changing the world.
Twenty years later, Kirsten, an actress with the Travelling Symphony, performs Shakespeare in the settlements that have grown up since the collapse. But her world is threatened, and she must confront the question: what would you preserve in a world that has lost almost everything?
Emily St. John Mandel's beautifully written novel explores the intersection of art and survival in a post-apocalyptic world, where the beauty of human experience is preserved in the most unexpected ways.
