From
the award-winning author of Station Eleven, an exhilarating novel set at the
glittering intersection of two seemingly disparate events-a massive Ponzi
scheme collapse and the mysterious disappearance of a woman from a ship at sea.
Vincent is a bartender at the
Hotel Caiette, a five-star lodging on the northernmost tip of Vancouver Island.
On the night she meets Jonathan Alkaitis, a hooded figure scrawls a message on
the lobby's glass wall: "Why don't you swallow broken glass." High
above Manhattan, a greater crime is committed: Alkaitis is running an
international Ponzi scheme, moving imaginary sums of money through clients' accounts.
When the financial empire collapses, it obliterates countless fortunes and
devastates lives. Vincent, who had been posing as Jonathan's wife, walks away
into the night. Years later, a victim of the fraud is hired to investigate a
strange occurrence: a woman has seemingly vanished from the deck of a container
ship between ports of call.
In this captivating story of
crisis and survival, Emily St. John Mandel takes readers through often hidden
landscapes: campgrounds for the near-homeless, underground electronica clubs,
the business of international shipping, service in luxury hotels, and life in a
federal prison. Rife with unexpected beauty, The Glass Hotel is a captivating
portrait of greed and guilt, love and delusion, ghosts and unintended
consequences, and the infinite ways we search for meaning in our lives.
