En 2401, sur une des colonies lunaires, une brillante physicienne nommée Zoey s'interroge sur des anomalies qui la perturbent. Le monde tel qu'il existe ne serait-il qu'une simulation ? Emily St. John Mandel renouvelle le thème classique du voyage dans le temps à sa manière unique, dans une histoire envoûtante qui entremêle époques et personnages jusqu'au vertige. -

Et pourquoi précisément le soir où on attend le propriétaire du lieu, le milliardaire américain Jonathan Alkaitis?? Ce message menaçant semble lui être destiné. Ce soir-là, une jeune femme prénommée Vincent officie au bar?; le milliardaire lui fait une proposition qui va bouleverser sa vie.

C'était une vielle histoire qui tenait en quelques phrases, à propos de fenêtres brisées et de neige ; et quand Michaela eut terminé, Lilia s'affaissa sur le banc, le regard levé vers elle, réduite au silence par le choc... Dans quelques minutes, la nuit imploserait dans le bruit et la tragédie, mais pour l'instant Michaela était près d'elle, à l'observer, et lui dit d'une voix douce : - Vous vous souvenez, maintenant ? Lilia acquiesça. Oui, me souviens de tout. « Une oeuvre originale et bouleversante sur le thème de la perte et de ses répercussions. » (C. Ferniot) «Télérama »« Une atmosphère de mélancolie et de déréliction qui vous gardera longtemps sous son emprise. » (F. Lestavel) «Paris-Match»

From the New York Times bestselling author of Station Eleven
Lilia has been leaving people behind her entire life. Haunted by her inability to remember her early childhood, and by a mysterious shadow that seems to dog her wherever she goes, Lilia moves restlessly from city to city, abandoning lovers and friends along the way. But then she meets Eli, and he's not ready to let her go, not without a fight.
Gorgeously written, charged with tension and foreboding, Emily St. John Mandel's Last Night in Montreal is the story of a life spent at the centre of a criminal investigation. It is a novel about identity, love and amnesia, the depths and limits of family bonds and - ultimately - about the nature of obsession. -
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.
Freedom and surveillance, art and survival, love and loss in a broken world: Exit Party is the electrifying new novel from Emily St. John Mandel.
