1Q84

Haruki Murakami’s sprawling three-part novel, set in a subtly altered Tokyo of 1984, a world with two moons that the protagonist Aomame comes to call “1Q84.” Interlacing her story with that of Tengo, a math teacher and aspiring writer, Murakami builds a slow-burning tale of parallel realities, cults, and the gravitational pull of love across an impossible distance.
