Book: The Bone Clocks
AWARD-winning author David Mitchell returns at his mind-bending best with The Bone Clocks, his Booker Prize-nominated sixth novel. It charts the life of protagonist Holly Sykes, from teenage runaway in 1980s Essex, to an elderly woman eking out a frugal existence in a not-too-distant future where Europe has run out of oil.
Unbeknownst to Holly, a fleeting promise she makes to a stranger as an adolescent leads her to become a pawn in the battle between two groups of ‘pseudo-immortals’, one good, one resoundingly evil.
