Description

he dazzling new novel from the author of CLOUD ATLAS, at once the kaleidoscopic story of an unusual woman s life, a metaphysical thriller and a profound meditation on mortality and survival.

Metaphysical thriller, meditation on mortality and chronicle of our self-devouring times, this is the kaleidoscopic new novel from the author of Cloud Atlas.

LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2014

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.
