Our next book is the bestseller, Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. About this award-winning book: One snowy night a famous actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve in a flu pandemic. Moving back and forth in time–from the actor’s early days as a film star to twenty years in the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains–this elegiac novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor’s first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet.

Copies of this book are available at the Charlotte Court House Library (Main Branch).
