1Q84: Books 1, 2 and 3 - Haruki Murakami Reviews
Newest Review: ... based on her story of life in a religious cult and the actions of the mysterious and supernatural "Little ... more
... People".
On the surface, world looks the same, but Aomame especially notices changes: for example she discovers that she can't remember recent news events happening, that the Japanese police carry semi-automatic guns - and that there are two moons in the sky!
Tengo - and the reader - isn't as aware that he is also in this strange world at first. Both his and Aomame's alternating stories seem to have no connection, but as the story progresses, and Tengo himself notices the two moons, their lives and paths begin to draw togeth...more

It is 1984 in Japan - however as the "Q" in the title suggests, there are many questions. The novel has two main characters, Aomame (literally "green pea") a fitness instructor - who is also an assassin (of bad guys only!), and Tengo, a maths teacher and aspiring writer. For the most part, the story is told from the point of view of each character - in alternate chapters. Oddly, Books 1&2 come together, and Book 3 is separate (although I think you can buy all three as one book now).

Both stories exist separately but begin to draw together as the novel progresses, as ... Read the complete review
