Station Eleven casts us into a post-pandemic future. We imagine how people will live if the support systems of civilization are broken, and we feel the vast sense of loss that comes from living in the skeleton of civilization. The author's post-pandemic details are compelling and engaging. The tone is nostalgic and it causes you to reflect on the everyday miracles of our modern lives.
However, the book is told through the experiences of five or six minor characters. We jump from one character to another. Some of the characters are likeable and interesting but none of them grow and develop. Things happen, but there is nothing of consequence.
The setting is fascinating, but the storyline wanders and goes nowhere.
