Follow up to Station Eleven Coming from Emily St. John Mandel

The Glass Hotel Coming in 2019

Fans of Station Eleven will be thrilled today to hear that news that a follow up novel, the Glass Hotel is to be released in 2019. Picador has acquired the rights to the novel, which we’re hoping will be available on pre order soon, before it’s expected release around 18 months from now.

The Glass Hotel begins in 2004 when a young cook disappears from a container ship. Four years later a huge Ponzi scheme implodes in New York wiping countless fortunes. This book moved back and forth through the chronology, weaving the tangle of lives caught up in the events.

If it doesn’t sound much like Station Eleven that’s because it isn’t a direct sequel, rather a follow on, and Emily St. John Mandel hints that characters from Station Eleven may appear in this new novel.
