Publisher's summary

Winner of the Mail on Sunday John Llewellyn Rhys Prize.

A magnificent achievement and an engrossing experience, David Mitchell's first novel announced the arrival of one of the most exciting writers of the 21st century.

An apocalyptic cult member carries out a gas attack on a rush-hour metro, but what links him to a jazz buff in downtown Tokyo? Or to a Mongolian gangster, a woman on a holy mountain who talks to a tree and a late night New York DJ?

Set at the fugitive edges of Asia and Europe, Ghostwritten weaves together a host of characters, their interconnected destinies determined by the inescapable forces of cause and effect.

Masterfully woven tapestry

What a rich read! With characters from Japanese jazz junkies and Antebellum aunts to the Devil incarnate, all interconnected through time and space via quantum physics/black magic?
And considering it was written at the turn of the century (the 21st) it feels eerily prophetic.
Just don’t hold out for any concrete happy endings...although everything is possible 😉
