Román zavedie čitateľa z ostrova Vancouver v roku 1912 do temnej kolónie na Mesiaci o päťsto rokov neskôr a rozohrá príbeh ľudstva naprieč storočiami a vesmírom. Osemnásťročný Edwin St. Andrew musí po ostrom výstupe na rodinnej večeri opustiť rodnú krajinu a začať nový život v Kanade. Očarený krásou kanadskej divočiny vstúpi do lesa, kde znenazdajky začuje tóny huslí, ktoré sa ozývajú v termináli vzducholodí, a tento zážitok ním hlboko otrasie. O dve storočia neskôr cestuje slávna spisovateľka Olive Llewellynová po Zemi na knižnom turné. Jej domovom je však druhá mesačná kolónia, mesto bieleho kameňa, špicatých veží a umelej krásy. V texte Olivinho bestselleru o pandémii sa skrýva zvláštna pasáž: muž hrá na husliach za drobné v ozývajúcej sa chodbe terminálu vzducholodí a okolo neho sa týčia stromy v lese. Keď sa Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, detektív z druhej mesačnej kolónie, známej ako Nočné mesto, nechá najať na vyšetrovanie anomálie v severoamerickej divočine, odhalí viacero poznačených životov: stretne sa so synom grófa v exile, ktorý sa zbláznil, so spisovateľkou, ktorá je uväznená ďaleko od domova, pretože Zem sužuje pandémia, a s priateľkou z detstva z Nočného mesta, ktorá rovnako ako Gaspery zahliadne šancu urobiť niečo výnimočné, čo naruší časovú os vesmíru.

Clarke Award, Moje pokoja patrí k najsilnejším knihám roka 2022.

Magazín Vox: „Krásny, život obhajujúci román. More pokoja je o hľadaní zmyslu a krásy vo svete, ktorý neustále umiera, o vychutnávaní si života, ktorý sa zdá byť na hrane hrozivej a neodvolateľnej zmeny. Je to povzbudzujúca a dôležitá kniha. Hovorí síce, že svet dospel do svojho konca, no aj tak sa v ňom dá vždy nájsť krása.“

National Public Radio: „More pokoja je dojemný, dômyselne vykonštruovaný a hlboko pohlcujúci román, ktorý skúma veľké otázky o krutej nevyhnutnosti plynutia času, o strate i povahe toho, čo považujeme za realitu. A hlavne o tom, na čom nakoniec záleží... Románom doslova žijete a odozvy jeho zvláštnej, mrazivej atmosféry cítite ešte dlho.“

Scientific American: „Emocionálne zničujúci román o medziľudských vzťahoch. O tom, akí sme jeden k druhému - a akí by sme mali byť."

Buzzfeed: „Tento príbeh je o skutočných charakteroch, o prežití a ľudskej povahe. Takmer zabudnete na dystopické pozadie a skutočnosť, že svet sa môže skončiť - namiesto toho sa sústredíte na krásu rozprávania, pohlcujúcu krajinu a spôsob, akým sa prepletajú postavy, žijúce v rôznych časových obdobiach.“

Elle: „Verili sme niekedy, že svet sa nikdy nekončí? pýta sa postava z knihy More pokoja. V súčasnosti, kedy je tento strach akútne živý, je táto otázka zásadná. Mandelová sa sústreďuje na mnohé veci, ktoré nás dnes desia, no zároveň nám ukazuje, že nádej a ľudskosť sú ohňom, ktorý nemožno nikdy úplne uhasiť.“

Kirkus Review: „Komplikovaná a tajomná skladačka týkajúca sa podstaty reality je v tejto knihe dokonale vyriešená a všetky možné konce príbehu prepojené. Toto je ešte odvážnejšie ako známa Stanica Jedenásť. Vzrušujúce čítanie, dôležité a upokojujúce.“
