Miranda, he said. How long has it been? This seemed to her a silly question. She'd assumed, she realized, that everyone remembers the date of their divorce, the same way everyone remembers their wedding date. Eleven years, she said.

In "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel, a character reflects on the passage of time since her divorce. When asked how long it has been, she considers the question to be somewhat trivial, realizing that some significant life events, like marriage and divorce, are etched in memory. She recalls the date with certainty, as it holds meaning for her.
As she responds, she notes that eleven years have passed since that pivotal moment. This acknowledgment not only highlights the emotional weight of her past but also emphasizes how time can change perspectives on experiences once thought to be unforgettable. The conversation invites readers to consider their own markers of time and the significance placed on personal milestones.
