"I loved it"

Says Annick Hagemann

"I loved this novel. It was also a new discovery for me as I’ve never read Murakami before. He introduces us to Aomame and Tengo, whose predictable lives spiral out of control. Aomame begins to encounter strange phenomena which make her doubt her own reality, while Tengo’s life takes an unexpected turn after he agrees to participate in a scam. You are immediately drawn into Murakami’s unfamiliar world because the surreal borders on the almostconvincingly possible. You start looking around you and begin to imagine your own parallel universe."
