Inhaltsangabe
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 generation. Here is fiction at its most spellbinding and memorable best.

Zustand: Como nuevo. : En un verano soporífero de 1984, la adolescente fugitiva Holly Sykes se encuentra con una extraña mujer que le ofrece una pequeña muestra de bondad a cambio de 'asilo'. Pasarán décadas antes de que Holly comprenda exactamente qué tipo de asilo buscaba la mujer. 'The Bone Clocks' sigue los giros y vueltas de la vida de Holly desde una adolescencia marcada en Gravesend hasta la vejez en la costa atlántica de Irlanda, a medida que se agota el suministro de petróleo de Europa: una vida no tan fuera de lo común, pero marcada por destellos de precognición, visitas de personas que emergen de la nada y breves lapsos en las leyes de la realidad. Holly Sykes es una jugadora involuntaria en una disputa asesina que se desarrolla en las sombras y márgenes de nuestro mundo, y puede resultar ser su arma decisiva. Thriller metafísico, meditación sobre la mortalidad y crónica de nuestros tiempos autodestructivos, esta novela caleidoscópica crepita con la invención y el ingenio que han convertido a David Mitchell en uno de los escritores más célebres de su generación. Aquí está la ficción en su mejor momento, fascinante e inolvidable.
