A Future Vision (Station 11 ~ Emily St John Mandel)

I found this book recommendation in the 'New Statesman' magazine; Tracy Thorne was singing its praises. I was pleased I opted to read 'Station 11' as it's been a long time since I've devoted an entire weekend to reading a novel straight through. However what a compelling read it was. The old world ends and a chilling new one begins; abandoned cities return to nature and random settlements populated with the few who survive dot the desolate landscape. Yet the novel offers hope in humanity as the cast or Travelling Symphony face a new dawn.

It's been a while since I've done a blog entry so a book recommendation is a good start.
