the glass hotel by emily st john mandel review

It will be Mandel’s fifth published novel, following the breakout success of Station Eleven, which was named one of the Best Books of 2014 by Kirkus and nominated for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. In the book, according to the publisher’s summary, “a woman disappears from a container ship off the coast of Mauritania and a massive Ponzi scheme implodes in New York, dragging countless fortunes with it.” Mandel, on her website, enigmatically calls the novel “a ghost story that’s also about white collar crime and container shipping.” Mandel is set to write the pilot episode herself, and the series will be produced by NBCUniversal’s Canadian production unit Lark Productions.

Knopf in the United States in March 2020, has been optioned by NBCUniversal International Studios to be developed into a TV series, according to Deadline. The Canadian author’s upcoming novel The Glass Hotel, due to be published by Alfred A. John Mandel may be headed from Station Eleven to your local television station. All these different forces at work come together to create a highly readable but still intelligent novel, one you should be glad to tuck into while stuck at home.Emily St. I also love the gossipy nature of the ponzi scheme conflict, and the glamorous world of the ultra-wealthy set against the lives of ‘regular’ people. Mandel’s writing is a thing of beauty, and the plot she weaves among her memorable characters is well timed, keeping all 300 pages turning at a steady rate. My review below isn’t too earth shattering as I I really enjoyed this book and in my eyes it’s worth all the attention its getting. What kept me reading was the well-crafted story.

John Mandel? Well I’m sorry to say that the glass hotel itself doesn’t play too large a role in the plot, but I did enjoy our short glimpses into it nonetheless.

Is the idea of visiting a remote glass hotel off an island a terrifying thought, or a welcome one? Personally, I love immersing myself in nature, so the idea of sitting in a five-star resort with not another soul in sight (other than the staff mixing my cocktails) is immensely appealing to me – even during a pandemic! Perhaps this is one reason why I was so excited to read T he Glass Hotel by Emily St.
