In this thoughtful, mesmerizing tale with echoes of
Station Eleven, the author of An Uncommon
Education follows a group of survivors thrown together
in the aftermath of two major earthquakes that strike San
Francisco within an hour of each other—an achingly beautiful
and lyrical novel about the power of nature, the resilience
of the human spirit, and the enduring strength of
love. On Valentine’s Day, two major earthquakes strike
San Francisco within the same hour, devastating the city and
its primary entry points, sparking fires throughout, and
leaving its residents without power, gas, or
water. Among the disparate survivors whose fates will
become intertwined are Max, a man who began the day with
birthday celebrations tinged with regret; Vashti, a young
woman who has already buried three of the people she loved
most . . . but cannot forgot Max, the one man who got away;
and Gene, a Stanford geologist who knows far too much about
the terrifying earthquakes that have damaged this beautiful
city and irrevocably changed the course of their
lives. As day turns to night and fires burn across the
city, Max and Vashti—trapped beneath the rubble of the
collapsed Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium—must confront each
other and face the truth about their past, while Gene
embarks on a frantic search through the realization of his
worst nightmares to find his way back to his ailing lover
and their home.
