Following a terrible fight with her mother over her
boyfriend, fifteen-year-old Holly Sykes slams the door on
her family and her old life. But Holly is no typical teenage
runaway: A sensitive child once contacted by voices she knew
only as “the radio people,” Holly is a lightning rod for
psychic phenomena. Now, as she wanders deeper into the
English countryside, visions and coincidences reorder her
reality until they assume the aura of a nightmare brought to
life. For Holly has caught the attention of a cabal of dangerous
mystics—and their enemies. But her lost weekend is merely
the prelude to a shocking disappearance that leaves her
family irrevocably scarred. This unsolved mystery will echo
through every decade of Holly’s life, affecting all the
people Holly loves—even the ones who are not yet born. A Cambridge scholarship boy grooming himself for wealth and
influence, a conflicted father who feels alive only while
reporting on the war in Iraq, a middle-aged writer mourning
his exile from the bestseller list—all have a part to play
in this surreal, invisible war on the margins of our world.
From the medieval Swiss Alps to the nineteenth-century
Australian bush, from a hotel in Shanghai to a Manhattan
townhouse in the near future, their stories come together in
moments of everyday grace and extraordinary wonder. Rich with character and realms of possibility, The Bone
Clocks is a kaleidoscopic novel that begs to be taken apart
and put back together by a writer The Washington Post calls
“the novelist who’s been showing us the future of fiction.” An elegant conjurer of interconnected tales, a genre-bending
daredevil, and a master prose stylist, David Mitchell has
become one of the leading literary voices of his generation.
His hypnotic new novel, The Bone Clocks, crackles with
invention and wit and sheer storytelling pleasure—it is
fiction at its most spellbinding.
