Ghost Written by David MitchellSynopsis taken from Borders
An apocalyptic cult member carries out a gas attack on a rush-hour metro, but what connects him to a jazz buff in Tokyo? A woman on a holy mountain talks to a tree - and the tree talks back - unaware of the effect the financial irregularities of a burnt-out lawyer will have on her life. Add to this - a Mongolian gangster, a redundant English spy in Petersburg with a knack for forging masterpieces, a despondent 'zookeeper', a nuclear scientist, a ghostwriter, a ghost, and a late night New York DJ whose hard-boiled scepticism has been his undoing. All of them have tales to tell, and all must play their part as they are caught up in the inescapable forces of cause and effect.
For a minute I had this book confused with one I loved. Ghost Writer, John Harwood, but then realized I had never read the book you are writing about.

This one sounds really exciting - so many things going on!
ReplyDeleteI tried reading Black Swan Green by David Mitchell and really didn't enjoy it, so not sure if I would like this one.
