Station Eleven is so compelling, so fearlessly imagined, that I wouldn’t have put it down for anything.

Ann Patchett

A novel that carries a magnificent depth. . . . It’s a sweeping look at where we are, how we got here and where we might go. While her previous novels are cracking good reads, this is her best yet.

<em>The Globe and Mail</em>

It’s hard to imagine a novel more perfectly suited, in both form and content, to this literary moment.

<em>The New Yorker</em>

Deeply melancholy, but beautifully written, and wonderfully elegiac. . . . A book that I will long remember, and return to.

George R. R. Martin

Gracefully written and suspenseful. . . . Its evocation of the collapse of our civilization is powerful.
