Haruki Murakami is unquestionably Japan's leading novelist along with his many works - fiction and non-fiction - regularly reflecting modern day Japanese life while, unusually, sustaining a global appeal through the deeply human perspective. South of the Border, Western of the Sun is his seventh novel, written in 1992. Hajime tells the storyline of his romantic relationship with Shimamoto, an unconventional woman, from their first conferences as children through to life as students. They drift apart, but come together years later when Hajime is wedded and a dad of two. Are those past feelings of close friendship still real - real enough to upset a functioning family life? Or are they haunted by intense memories? And who's Shimamoto, and what has she become? South of the Border, Western of the Sun is typically intimate, illusive, unpredictable and absorbing in a manner that is distinctively Murakami.
