The year is 1984. Aomame sits in a taxi on the expressway in Tokyo. Her work is not the kind which can be discussed in public but she is in a hurry to carry out an assignment & with the traffic at a st&-still the driver proposes a solution. She agrees but as a result of her actions starts to feel increasingly detached from the real world. She has been on a top-secret mission & her next job will lead her to encounter the apparently superhuman founder of a religious cult. Meanwhile Tengo is leading a nondescript life but wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently becomes involved in a strange affair surrounding a literary prize to which a mysterious seventeen-year-old girl has submitted her remarkable first novel. It seems to be based on her own experiences & moves readers in unusual ways. Can her story really be true? Aomame & Tengos stories influence one another at times by accident & at times intentionally as the two come closer & closer to intertwining. As 1Q84" accelerates towards its conclusion both are pursued by persons & forces they do not know & cannot underst&. As they begin to decipher more about the strange world into which they have slipped so they sense their destinies converging. What they cannot know is whether they will find one another before they are themselves found. "1Q84" is a magnificent & fully-imagined work of fiction
- a thriller a love-story & a mind-bending ode to George Orwells " Nineteen Eighty-Four". It is a world from which the reader emerges stunned & altered."
