WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION FROM THE AUTHOR
Sumiré is in love with a woman seventeen years her sénior. Miu is glamorous and successful. Sumiré is an aspiring writer who dresses in an oversized second-hand coat and heavy boots like a character in a Kerouac novel. Sumiré spends hours on the phone talking to her best friend K aboutthe big questions in life: what is sexual desire, and should she ever tell Miu how she feels for her? Meanwhile K wonders whether he should confess his own unrequited love for Sumiré.
Then, a desperate Miu calis from a small Greek island:
Sumiré has mysteriously vanished...
'Confirms Murakami as a master of his craft...
Out of this world'
'How does Murakami manage to make poetry
while writing of contemporary life and emotions?
I am weak-kneed with admiration'
‘A beautiful novel, as light as a feather, and yet
enduringly sad...a captivating bookfrom one
of the world's most interesting authors'
