Station Eleven is the Book of the Month for August
About the Book
Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the
famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production
of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic
arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came
to an end.
Twenty years later, Kirsten moves between the
settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and
musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony, and they have
dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive.
But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a
violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band’s existence. And as the
story takes off, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting
life before and after the pandemic, the strange twist of fate that
connects them all will be revealed.
