Beschrijving

Tutto inizia - o finisce - con un giovane notaio americano dell'Ottocento in viaggio tra le isole del Pacifico, alla scoperta delle popolazioni indigene. Poi via via si risalgono gli anni e i continenti e si incontrano nuovi un giovane musicista in cerca della composizione perfetta nell'Europa degli anni Trenta; una coraggiosa giornalista californiana che, nel 1975, indaga su una centrale nucleare; un editore britannico in fuga da un gruppo di gangster. La narrazione prosegue fino ad arrivare a un prossimo futuro, in cui Seul sarà sommersa dalle acque e popolata di cloni, e oltre, all'alba di un nuovo mondo post-apocalittico. Come in una matrioska, ogni storia ne contiene un'altra, le vite si rincorrono, i destini si rispecchiano, le anime si incontrano.

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.
