Station Eleven

Some novels are science fiction. Some novels are literary. It's the rare novel that is both. Station Eleven is both.

I won't tell you much about the plot because that's one of the beauties of this story, but I will say that it circles around a famous actor, a comic book, the actor's various wives and son, a young actress who worked with the actor, and a devastating flu that kills almost everyone in the world. It goes forward in time and back in time. It tells the story from lots of points of view. And it all comes together in a lovely way.
