The beauty of the novel is that its key truths are those the reader arrives at on his or her own, without the help of a straight-line narrative or a dominating perspective. Instead, Mandel feeds off of our need to make connections, even when the pattern they form doesn't really exist. We start with anxiety and end with it, thrumming in the background for us to listen in - or ignore, at both cost and reward LA Times The Singer's Gun begins like a straightforward crime thriller ... But Emily St. John Mandel's new novel is something far rarer than this classic noir opening suggests. She introduces us to haunted, often fugitive individuals stranded in places from New York to Italy, from the past to the present. And her book strikes a perfect balance between introspection and action ... an eminently satisfying thriller Washington Post Brilliant Boston Globe Author InformationEmily St. John Mandel was born in Canada and studied dance at The School of Toronto Dance Theatre.
