Nishigandha Sarma

An intricately woven tale of interchangeable lives of different characters, this book makes the readers realize the fragility of life. There is definitely difference between living and just surviving. Murakami proceeds with this ideal to deal with several contemporary issues like mental health, suicide, life and death and revolution. With an open end, this book leaves the readers questioning their own values while giving the utmost liberty of narrowing down the future with either positivity or negativity. Although this book may require patience and deep thinking and is suitable for a heavy, deep read.
