1Q84, my first Murakami novel, has proved to be a monumental struggle but the positive responses I kept getting for his works kept me entrenched.

But to honest, it was quite a challenge, at first, for me to get the hang of his writing. No literary pundit has never heard of him nor has never encountered his works.

The Japanese novelist has established himself, through his works, as a premier master storyteller. Haruki Murakami is an author who doesn’t really need any introduction. When Sumire disappears from an island off the coast of Greece, K is solicited to join the search party – and finds himself drawn back into her world and beset by ominous visions. At least, that is, until she meets an older woman to whom she finds herself irresistibly drawn. K is madly in love with his best friend, Sumire, but her devotion to a writerly life precludes her from any personal commitments. Genre: Magical Realism, Romance, Suspense Synopsis
