Description: In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife’s missing cat—and then for his wife as well—in a netherworld beneath the city’s placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffused with comedy and menace, this is an astonishingly imaginative detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets from Japan’s forgotten campaign in Manchuria during World War II.
Description: Cloud Atlas, published in 2004, is the third novel by British author David Mitchell. It won the British Book Awards Literary Fiction award, and the Richard & Judy Book of the Year award, and was short-listed for the Booker Prize, Nebula Award for Best Novel, and Arthur C. Clarke Award.
