Dein Leben kann mehr als Dein Plan von ihmEin Luxushotel an der westlichen Küste Kanadas, jenseits der großen Fenster das Meer, Inseln, die Vegetation des Nordens. Ein Refugium für gestresste Städter, für die junge Barkeeperin Vincent aber ein Ort mit schmerzhaften Erinnerungen. Als eine alle Anwesenden erschütternde Botschaft auf eine der Scheiben der Lobby geschmiert wird, ergreift sie die Gelegenheit und geht mit dem Investor Jonathan Alkaitis nach New York. Was sie nicht weiß: Alkaitis Vermögen beruht auf Betrug, und als er untergeht, reißt er seine Anleger mit hinab in die Tiefe, und Vincents Leben wird ein weiteres Mal in unvorhergesehene Fahrwasser gelenkt.Mit Das Glashotel hat Emily St. John Mandel einen Roman über die Odyssee des modernen Menschen geschrieben, einen Roman über Entwurzelung und Wandel, über das Ergreifen von Gelegenheiten und scheiternde Pläne und nicht zuletzt über unsere lebenslange Suche nach jenem Ort, den wir Heimat nennen können.
