Thirteen years later Vincent mysteriously disappears from the deck of a Neptune-Avramidis ship.Weaving together the lives of these characters, Emily St. John Mandel’s The Glass Hotel moves between the ship, the skyscrapers of Manhattan, and the wilderness of remote British Columbia, painting a breathtaking picture of greed and guilt, fantasy and delusion, art and the ghosts of our pasts.
