One snowy night in Toronto, a famous actor collapses during a theatre production of King Lear. Hours later, a deadly flu begins its devastating sweep across the globe. Civilisation crumbles – but not everything is lost.

Twenty years on, a troupe called the Travelling Symphony moves between scattered settlements, performing Shakespeare for audiences hungry for meaning in the aftermath. Among them is Kirsten, a young actress haunted by the past and by a mysterious comic book that has survived the collapse.

Station Eleven is a luminous meditation on memory, art and human connection – a novel that moves between timelines to explore what binds us together when the world falls apart. Beautiful, unsettling and unexpectedly hopeful, it asks the question: if everything changed, what would you hold on to?
