Decades will pass before Holly understands exactly what sort of asylum the woman was seeking...The Bone Clocks follows the twists and turns of Holly's life from a scarred adolescence in Gravesend to old age on Ireland's Atlantic coast as Europe's oil supply dries up - a life not so far out of the ordinary, yet punctuated by flashes of precognition, visits from people who emerge from thin air and brief lapses in the laws of reality.

Beginning in 1930s Berlin and spanning the grubbiness and glamour of pre-War Paris and L.A., we follow Loeser's obsessive quest to re-create the perfect stage trick, the great Lavacini's Extraordinary Mechanism for the Almost Instantaneous Transport of Persons from Place to Place (better known as the Teleportation Device) - and to screw the perfect woman, one Adele Hitler.Aside from Loeser's olympically dull friends, we'll meet Scramsfield, a dissembling Bostonian recovering from a botched suicide pact; Colonel Gorge, who suffers from a bizarre condition known as ontological agnosia; and Bailey, a distinguished physicist working on a Teleportation Device of a different, and much more sinister, nature.The Teleportation Accident is a stunningly inventive novel about evasion and distraction; love, lust, sex and desire; transport, teleportation and time-travel; and the chilling disconnect between imagination and reality.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH READING THIS YOU MAY BE SOMEWHERE ELSE.","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":39767795630161,"sku":"PR6102.E225","price":14.71,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":39767795662929,"sku":"PR6102.E225","price":11.77,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":39767795695697,"sku":"PR6102.E225","price":10.59,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":39767795728465,"sku":"PR6102.E225","price":9.41,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/15776216.jpg?v=1717765891"},{"product_id":"a-horse-walks-into-a-bar-1","title":"A Horse Walks into a Bar","description":"WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE 2017A Guardian and New Statesman Book of the YearThe setting is a comedy club in a small Israeli town.

They could get up and leave, or boo and whistle and drive him from the stage, if they were not so drawn to glimpse his personal hell.

Betrayals between lovers, the treachery of friends, guilt demanding redress.

A diary is Nao's only solace-and will touch lives in ways she can scarcely imagine. Across the Pacific, we meet Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox-possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami.

But Holly is no typical teenage runaway: A sensitive child once contacted by voices she knew only as “the radio people,” Holly is a lightning rod for psychic phenomena. Now, as she wanders deeper into the English countryside, visions and coincidences reorder her reality until they assume the aura of a nightmare brought to life. For Holly has caught the attention of a cabal of dangerous mystics—and their enemies. But her lost weekend is merely the prelude to a shocking disappearance that leaves her family irrevocably scarred. This unsolved mystery will echo through every decade of Holly’s life, affecting all the people Holly loves—even the ones who are not yet born.
