1Q84 – Haruki Murakami

1Q84 is Haruki Murakami’s epic and ambitious novel that blends romance, mystery, and surrealism. Set in a slightly altered version of 1984 Tokyo, the story follows two parallel protagonists—Aomame, a skilled assassin, and Tengo, a writer and math teacher—whose lives become mysteriously intertwined.

As the narrative unfolds, a strange world emerges with cults, alternate realities, and symbolic figures like the Little People. Murakami explores themes of love, destiny, isolation, and the nature of reality itself.

Vast, immersive, and unforgettable, 1Q84 is considered one of Murakami’s greatest works and a must-read for fans of modern literary fiction and magical realism.
