Hailed as one of The New York Times' finest literary works of the 21st century, Station Eleven is a haunting tale set amidst the twilight of civilisation. This mesmerising novel, penned by Emily St. John Mandel, has now been adapted into a gripping HBO Max original series.

Picture a world where nearly everything—and everyone—has vanished, yet beauty still lingers. On a frosty evening in Toronto, renowned thespian Arthur Leander breathes his last whilst delivering the performance of his career. Simultaneously, a lethal virus makes landfall in North America, forever altering the course of humanity.

Fast-forward two decades, and we encounter Kirsten, a member of the Travelling Symphony, bringing Shakespeare's timeless works to life in the scattered settlements that have sprung up in the wake of society's downfall. But a sinister force threatens to shatter her newfound hope...

In a world stripped bare, what would you fight to preserve? How far would you venture to safeguard it? These questions lie at the heart of this captivating narrative.

Station Eleven has garnered numerous accolades, including the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and has been shortlisted for prestigious honours such as the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction, the National Book Awards, and the PEN/Faulkner Award.

Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist, muses: "Unsettling, imaginative, and exhilarating, Station Eleven left me yearning for the world I still inhabit."

This literary gem forms part of the Picador Collection, a curated series showcasing the pinnacle of contemporary literature.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
