“Bone Clocks” by David Mitchell, won the World Fantasy
Award in 2015. It was also nominated for the Locus Award in the same year.
This audio book was divided into 6 sections and read
by 5 different people. It is a very complex novel and I admit to having to rely
on internet synopsis help occasionally. In the first part we meet Holly Sykes
who is a fifteen-year-old runaway. Just as you are really getting into her
story, the next section starts and then the books progressively jump ten or so
years in each of the remaining five sections. Another person reads each section
and all have ties to Holly. The last section is again narrated by Holly and
brings all the plots and subplots together.
I got kind of bored in the middle. I am glad I stuck
with it because the ending was really good. Overall, I liked the book and
thought it was well worth the listen.
