Description

Sechs Lebenswege, die sich unmöglich kreuzen können: darunter ein amerikanischer Anwalt, der um 1850 Ozeanien erforscht, ein britischer Komponist, der 1931 vor seinen Gläubigern nach Belgien flieht, und eine koreanische Duplikantin, die in der Zukunft wegen des Verbrechens angeklagt wird, ein Mensch sein zu wollen. Und dennoch sind diese Geschichten miteinander verwoben.

Mitchells originelle Menschheitsgeschichte katapultiert den Leser durch Räume, Zeiten, Genres und Erzählstile.

Gorgeous writing and story-telling

March 21st 2026

A collection of stories spread out over different generations of strangers, that are all somehow intertwined. Some characters are more likeable and some stories are better than the others (I was most drawn to Sonmi and Frobisher), but they are cleverly linked so it's enjoyable overall. It is a long read, however and I began to run out of steam in the last couple of hours for the audiobook (25 and a half hours listening time...), so at that point was happy when I'd finished. It's worth bearing in mind there are some problematic parts e.g. I think the language used was to reflect the opinions and terms of that time-period. There's also a bit of white saviourism, so it's not a perfect book.
