1Q84

Tokyo, 1984—but not quite the one we know. When Aomame steps out of a taxi after a cryptic suggestion from the driver, she begins to notice strange distortions in reality. She calls this new world 1Q84—the “Q” for question mark—a place where logic falters and mystery deepens. At the same time, Tengo, a quiet math teacher and aspiring writer, agrees to rewrite a bizarre manuscript, only to find himself pulled into a surreal and unsettling narrative far beyond his control.

As their stories slowly intertwine, a deeper connection between Aomame and Tengo emerges—one shaped by forgotten memories, a secretive cult, a strange young girl, and forces that seem to bend time itself. Blending love story, thriller, dystopia, and philosophical inquiry, 1Q84 is Murakami’s mesmerizing masterpiece that rivals George Orwell's—an epic Japan Bestseller of alternate realities and longing that defies convention and lingers long after the final page.
