fathima_ashab 's review for:
1Q84
by Haruki Murakami
This books is not at all like anything I have ever read before. So I don't know how to weave my feelings together in words here. And I am sure that it's one of his masterpieces! This book has little of every genre. This is about two long lost lovers finding their way back to each other in a parallel universe where two worlds merge together and you cannot differentiate one from another.
The main character here was Aomame who goes into the alternate 1984 called 1Q84 (which resembles mostly of Orwell's 1984). Her work there is badassy thing. She has to kill men who involves in domestic violence under the guidance of a dowager. And Tengo on the other side gets involved in the rewriting of a novel originally written by Fuka Eri who is an another weird character. And the story is about whether Amoame and Tengo would survive all the problems and get back to each other.
This is mostly a character driven story but also with plot that will blow away your mind while reading but will not make any sense if you think back later. And there are some things unanswered at the end. But that's what I love about Murakami. He will let readers find their own possibilities of plots. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves magical realism and want to read something out of the ordinary. Murakami reminds me mostly of Gabriel Marquez but also very unique. He is something different. He is my favourite find of this year. And tbh I wouldn't even mind to read his grocery list. I will do it happily!! Stop Fangirling now!
