South of the Border, West of the Sun

by Haruki Murakami, Philip Gabriel
South of the Border, West of the Sun
South of the Border, West of the Sun

Nostalgic journey of love, loss, and choices.

If you’ve ever found yourself haunted by the roads not taken, "South of the Border, West of the Sun" will resonate with you. Murakami masterfully weaves a tale that's as intimate as it is universal, exploring the torment of what-ifs and the bittersweet nature of life's choices. It's the kind of book that stays with you, urging a contemplation of your own past and present.

Description

Growing up in the suburbs of post-war Japan, it seemed to Hajime that everyone but him had brothers and sisters. His sole companion was Shimamoto, also an only child. Together they spent long afternoons listening to her father's record collection. But when his family moved away, the two lost touch. Now Hajime is in his thirties. After a decade of drifting he has found happiness with his loving wife and two daughters, and success running a jazz bar. Then Shimamoto reappears. She is beautiful, intense, enveloped in mystery. Hajime is catapulted into the past, putting at risk all he has in the present.
