Die Knochenuhren

Stunning, clever, and full of a love for language. On a sleepy summer day in 1984, young Holly Sykes storms out of her home in a fit of rage. During her aimless flight, she encounters an old woman who gives her a seemingly nonsensical message. Decades will pass before Holly understands what the old woman means for her existence, but gradually she realizes: there is infinitely more hidden behind the reality she knows. A novel as wild and imaginative as the works of Haruki Murakami and Stephen King, but with its own exuberant sound. A mind-altering reading pleasure and a worthy successor to Mitchell's bestselling "Cloud Atlas.".
