Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

509 Pages, Published In 2004

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A brilliant, genre-defying novel composed of six interwoven stories spanning time and space—from 19th-century colonial New Zealand to 1900s England, a dystopian Korea, and a post-apocalyptic world in Hawaii. The stories are interlinked, with characters are reincarnations across timelines. The structure is mind-blowing: the first five narratives are interrupted mid-sentence at pivotal moments, followed by the sixth; then it unfolds in reverse, completing each tale in a mirror: 12345654321.
