The new translation features a magnificent modern classic novel by David Mitchell, a two-time Booker Prize finalist, author of such intellectual bestsellers as Dream #9, Cloud Atlas (recently filmed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski brothers), The Hungry House and others. In The Bone Clock, Mitchell continues and expands on the themes raised in Cloud Atlas and expanded upon in The Hungry House. “Great story, great language, everything is great,” wrote Stephen King of The Bone Clock. "One of the best novels of the year, on par with Donna Tartt's long-awaited The Goldfinch in literary depth." “A triumphant, stunning, dizzying journey around the world,” echoed the venerable Ursula Le Guin in her review. "The terrifying dark depths of The Bone Clock are boldly hidden behind witty tricks and verbal lace weaved by the inimitable narrator David Mitchell." So, meet the main character: “Holly Sykes, a simple English girl, is in no way inferior to Holden Caulfield” (Booklist). One hot summer day, she runs away from home: a wayward teenager, a broken-hearted rebel, an unwitting pawn in a secret global conflict. Once she heard the voices of "radio people" - now the mystery of one lost weekend will come around at various key moments in her life. And year after year, she puzzles over what her seven-year-old brother Jacko had in mind when he handed her a cardboard with an “infernal labyrinth” and told her to memorize it: “When you walk through this labyrinth, the Darkness relentlessly follows you” ... “Bone Clock” - an excellent work of the master, which is a pleasure to read both as a literary mystery and as an extraordinary story of the life of an ordinary woman over six tumultuous decades” (San Francisco Chronicle).
