From the New York Times bestselling author of Station Eleven Lilia has been leaving people behind her entire life. Haunted by her inability to remember her early childhood, and by a mysterious shadow that seems to dog her wherever she goes, Lilia moves restlessly from city to city, abandoning lovers and friends along the way. But then she meets Eli, and he's not ready to let her go, not without a fight. Gorgeously written, charged with tension and foreboding, Emily St. John Mandel's Last Night in Montreal is the story of a life spent at the centre of a criminal investigation. It is a novel about identity, love and amnesia, the depths and limits of family bonds and - ultimately - about the nature of obsession.

Stunning. Moves at an almost desperate pace which made it almost impossible to put down.
ends a lot stronger than it begins and meanders a bit in the middle to the point of having already forgotten some of what occurs, but i overall really enjoyed reading this book and following the mystery through its blank slate protagonist. every ESJM book has to live in the shadow of station eleven (possibly my favorite novel ever), but i'm pretty sure this is my second favorite of her novels that i've read so far.
