The Bone Clocks

by David Mitchell (born January 12, 1969 in Southport, England)
Classified: Fantasy, 2015 World Fantasy Award.

This book follows the adventures and life of psychic Holly Sykes as she accidentally encounters warring factions of immortals who lurk behind the façade of civilized life. One faction becomes immortal by murdering people while the other faction reincarnates and Holly is haunted by her awareness of both groups throughout her life, loves and losses. 

If you were granted the ability to be immortal you might refer to ephemeral humans as “bone clocks.”

David Mitchell is best known for Cloud Atlas (2004) which won the British Book Awards Literary Fiction Award and shortlisted for many other prestigious awards.
