The Bone Clocks

The Bone Clocks

 

 “There are many reasons this novel is great - its richly characterised voices, its sumptuous period details, its dark sense of humour and healthy but never grating awareness of itself. None of these even gets close to why it’s such a marvel. Its plot is truly ridiculous. It is basically unspoilable. It’s the kind of labyrinthine sci-fi that teenage boys love and everyone else gives a heartening smile and pats on the head. But 600 pages fly by without stopping for a second to think, wait, how did I just let any of this happen?” Nicholas Watts
