Cloud Atlas

“Structure-defying, mind-blowing cult classic with nesting narratives that begin in 1850 and whirl into the future with spookily prescient accuracy. Hard to explain, impossible to forget. Just trust it. “My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?””

“Picked it up on a whim 15 years ago. It’s become my very favorite. Stunning, weird, funny, devastating — hard to describe which makes it a joy to read. Pack this one for a long plane ride!”

“The writing transports you to so many places and I especially love the feeling of time travel and reading books in distorted versions of English (like slang and post-apocalyptic dialects).”
