Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of Station Eleven, Exit Party is Emily St. John Mandel's new mind-bending epic: a story of crimes committed and loves lost across space and time.
2031. America is at war with itself, but for the first time in weeks there is some hope: the Republic of California has been declared, the curfew in Los Angeles is lifted, and everyone in the city is going to a party.
Ari, newly released from prison, arrives with her friend Gloria just as a fragile new era begins. But there are people at the party who shouldn't be there. Something is very wrong . . .
Years later, living a different life in Paris, Ari remains haunted by that night. Whatever happened at the party fractured her sense of reality - and may hold the key to a very different world.
Exit Party is Emily St. John Mandel's electrifying new novel about freedom and surveillance, art and survival, love and loss in a broken world.
Customer Reviews
don't waste your time
I died of boredom somewhere around chapter 7.
Nothing about these characters is interesting. The author dangles so many apparently interesting things around them, but they are - - unalive, wooden, dull. The plot seems to be mostly about marriage and travelling from one place to other places, and a painting produced by an artist possessed of no talent at all.
