Ghostwritten by David Mitchell
5.0
Brilliant! Nine interconnected stories that are basically happening at the same time. The narrative begins in Okinawa, then treks eastwards, all the way to Ireland. We jump to a different character's mind in each new chapter (much like the disembodied spirit from the Mongolia story), showing how the actions of one person affect the world of the next. Cause and effect. Chance vs fate.
David Mitchell delves headfirst into human nature and leaves you spellbound.
"We're all ghostwriters, my boy. And it's not just our memories. Our actions, too. We all think we're in control of our own lives, but really they're pre-ghostwritten by forces around us."
-- Timothy Cavendish
