David Mitchell THE BONE CLOCKS First Edition Signed

First edition first print hardback of THE BONE CLOCKS by David Mitchell and published by Sceptre in 2014. Signed by Mitchell on the title page. Single digit '1' indicates the first printing.

The book is in very good+ condition (black cloth boards with white lettering to spine) with no significant wear apart from a small dent to the bottom edge of the back board. The book is in a very good unclipped dust jacket which has light creasing to the top edges. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.

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. 

595 pages. Plus Acknowledgements.
