South of the Border, West of the Sun is the beguiling story of a past rekindled, and one of Haruki Murakamiâs most touching novels.
Hajime has arrived at middle age with a loving family and an enviable career, yet he feels incomplete. When a childhood friend, now a beautiful woman, shows up with a secret from which she is unable to escape, the fault lines of doubt in Hajimeâs quotidian existence begin to give way. Rich, mysterious, and quietly dazzling, in South of the Border, West of the Sun the simple arc of one manâs life becomes the exquisite literary terrain of Murakamiâs remarkable genius.
