I actually read this book in 2012, but it is so good that I have decided to include it anyway. Be prepared to be slightly confused,
enraptured and completely involved as
Haruki Murakami slides two
completely different stories over the top of each other until they
cling together to form one story without any troubling edges. 'Things
are not what they seem', Murakami suggests, as memories from the past
and the perceived reality of the present create new, fanciful ideas
of time and even of identity. Beautifully and intelligently written,
this book captivates while it subtly presents images and ideas that
remain with the reader long after he/she has finished the book.
