Beschreibung

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. For holly sykes - daughter, sister, mother, guardian - is also an unwitting player in a murderous feud played out in the shadows and margins of our world and may prove to be its decisive weapon. Metaphysical thriller, meditation on mortality and chronicle of our self devouring times, this kaleidoscopic novel crackles with the invention and wit that have made david mitchell one of the most celebrated writers of his genera

I was both excited and scared to be disappointed because i was blown away by Cloud Atlas before (and all his other books, esp. Ghostwritten). so i was wondering how he would stay close to the themes he always uses (reincarnation, different voices/different times) and not be identical to his other works. I can safely say this is not like the other books. (Though i enjoyed all the nods and mentions of his older works in this one!). I loved Holly. I loved the 'background/not so much backround later on-fantasy' element. I loved all the different views and the glimpses we got of Hollys life through different people. It was just a very enjoyable, memorable, awesome read and i will def. reread it.

DNF, got halfway through but it fucked me up a lot, mentally. I needed a couple of days of distance from the book, and maybe one day I'll return to it. The writing is engaging and interesting, and the story as well, but I don't know, the second Chapters main character and the third chapter in general messed me up.
