Emily St. John Mandel Knihy

Osemnásťročný Edwin St. Andrew musí po ostrom výstupe na rodinnej večeri opustiť rodnú krajinu a začať nový život v Kanade. Očarený krásou kanadskej divočiny vstúpi do lesa, kde znenazdajky začuje tóny huslí, ktoré sa ozývajú v termináli vzducholodí, a tento zážitok ním hlboko otrasie. O dve storočia neskôr cestuje slávna spisovateľka Olive Llewellynová po Zemi na knižnom turné. Jej domovom je však druhá mesačná kolónia, mesto bieleho kameňa, špicatých veží a umelej krásy. V texte Olivinho bestselleru o pandémii sa skrýva zvláštna pasáž: muž hrá na husliach za drobné v ozývajúcej sa chodbe terminálu vzducholodí a okolo neho sa týčia stromy v lese. Keď sa Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, detektív z druhej mesačnej kolónie, známej ako Nočné mesto, nechá najať na vyšetrovanie anomálie v severoamerickej divočine, odhalí viacero poznačených životov: stretne sa so synom grófa v exile, ktorý sa zbláznil, so spisovateľkou, ktorá je uväznená ďaleko od domova, pretože Zem sužuje pandémia, a s priateľkou z detstva z Nočného mesta, ktorá rovnako ako Gaspery zahliadne šancu urobiť niečo výnimočné, čo naruší časovú os vesmíru.
