The Bone Clocks
Metaphysischer Thriller von David Mitchell
One drowsy summer’s day in 1984, teenage runaway Holly Sykes encounters a strange woman who offers a small kindness in exchange for ‚asylum‘. Decades will pass before Holly understands exactly what sort of asylum the woman was seeking … The Bone Clocks follows the twists and turns of Holly’s life from a scarred adolescence in Gravesend to old age on Ireland’s Atlantic coast as Europe’s oil supply dries up – a life not so far out of the ordinary, yet punctuated by flashes of precognition, visits from people who emerge from thin air and brief lapses in the laws of reality.
David Mitchell, geb. 1969 ist ein britischer Autor, der literarisch durchaus anspruchsvolle, aber gleichzeitig sehr unterhaltsame Romane verfasst. “If only real life were as elegant and generally encouraging as a Mitchell novel! He writes with scintillating verve and abundance.” (Daily Telegraph) (1.590 Rezensionen / 3,7 Sterne), 609 Seiten noch günstig?
