Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sea of Tranquility was one of my favorite books released in 2022. It's my kind of science fiction that focuses more on human relationships rather than an entire new world. It follows Edwin St. Andrew as he travels across the Atlantic in 1912, Olive Llewellyn on her book tour two centuries later, and Gaspery Jacque-Roberts, an investigator, who lives on one of the distant Moon colonies. All of the characters' stories mysteriously intertwine to attempt to answer timeless, existential questions like: what would we change if we traveled back in time? Would we help others or just ourselves? Would our attempts to change events create an even worse situation?
