The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel


The glass hotel in this novel is the Hotel Caitte, built on a small island off the north coast of Vancouver Island. Accessible by boat, the hotel serves as a center point where the characters’ paths cross and chance meetings are made that will affect all their futures. The narratives skip forward and backward in this inventive and mesmerizing novel.
