I decided to read Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility and I am glad I did! Although it may be a bit confusing at first with all of time skips, things start falling into place slowly but surely in such a way where you remain not just confused (in a good way) such that the story demands more of your time, but also intrigued at some of the more introspective questions the author raises through its themes of time, death, and reality.
As the world starts to largely be wiped out by a virus, these various themes trickle in and makes the reader contemplate questions we may not typically think of on a daily basis.
Overall, I recommend the book!
