No one can create beautiful, enmeshed, startlingly clever worlds the way Mandel does. A new novel by her is a cause for enormous, tumultuous celebration
Daisy Johnson, author of Everything Under

A fascinating and affecting read
Stylist

Elegant . . . beguiling . . .
the joys of The Glass Hotel are participatory: piecing together the connections and intersections of Mandel's human cartography, a treasure map ripped to pieces
Guardian

Beautifully written and compelling, it will find its way straight to your heart.
Red

A damn fine novel . . . she keeps me turning pages . . . haunting and evocative and immersive . . . I guess you can say I am a big Emily St. John Mandel fanboy
George R R Martin, author of A Game of Thrones

A beguiling tale about skewed morals, reckless lives and necessary means of escape . . . immersive
The Economist

I've waited five long years for this - and it was absolutely worth it . . . [A] stunning and meandering story full of beautiful prose . . . an extraordinary read
Prima, Book of the Month

A mysterious and delicate book . . . The Glass Hotel beautifully depicts the many lives impacted by the collapse of an ambitious Ponzi scheme
Elle Magazine (USA)

The bestselling author of Station Eleven returns with this tale
about the relationship between a New York financier, his waiter lover, a threatening note and a mysterious disappearance
Times, Best books of 2020

Deeply imagined, philosophically profound . . . The Glass Hotel moves forward propulsively, its characters continually on the run . . . Richly satisfying . . . as immersive a reading experience as its predecessor, finding all the necessary imaginative depth within the more realistic confines of its world . . . Revolutionary
The Atlantic - Ruth Franklin

The Glass Hotel may be the perfect novel for your survival bunker... Freshly mysterious... Mandel is a consummate, almost profligate world builder. One superbly developed setting gives way to the next, as her attention winds from character to character, resting long enough to explore the peculiar mechanics of each life before slipping over to the next... That Mandel manages to cover so much, so deeply is the abiding mystery of this book. The 300 pages of The Glass Hotel work harder than most 600-page novels... The disappointment of leaving one story is immediately quelled by our fascination in the next... The complex, troubled people who inhabit Mandel's novel are vexed and haunted by their failings, driven to create ever more pleasant reflections of themselves in the glass.
Ron Charles, The Washington Post

The question of what is real-be it love, money, place or memory-has always been at the heart of Ms. Mandel's fiction... Her narratives snake their way across treacherous, shifting terrain. Certainties are blurred, truth becomes malleable and in The Glass Hotel the con man thrives... Lyrical, hypnotic images... suspend us in a kind of hallucinatory present where every detail is sharply defined yet queasily unreliable. A sense of unease thickens... Ms. Mandel invites us to observe her characters from a distance even as we enter their lives, a feat she achieves with remarkable skill. And if the result is a sense not only of detachment but also of desolation, then maybe that's the point.
Anna Mundow, Wall Street Journal

Mandel's wonderful novel (after Station Eleven) follows a brother and sister as they navigate heartache, loneliness, wealth, corruption, drugs, ghosts, and guilt . . . This ingenious, enthralling novel probes the tenuous yet unbreakable bonds between people and the lasting effects of momentary carelessness
