1Q84

Alternate History by ჰარუკი მურაკამი

Blurb

The year is 1Q84. This is the real world, there is no doubt about that. But in this world, there are two moons in the sky. In this world, the fates of two people, Tengo and Aomame, are closely intertwined. They are each, in their own way, doing something very dangerous. And in this world, there seems no way to save them both. Something extraordinary is starting. '1Q84 has a range and sophistication that surpasses anything else in his oeuvre.' Independent on Sunday ‘Murakami's magnum opus’ Japan Times ‘Vibrating with wit, intellect and ambition’ The Times

It might be a magical realism book, but it is definitely real.

Die Story ist durchaus spannend und fantasiereich, aber die Länge des ganzen hat den Bogen für mich etwas überspannt. Das ist eher was für den Urlaub als für zwischendurch.

Starts very well but no need for ~1.000 pages!
