"Grabs you from its opening lines. . . . [Murakami's] never written anything more openly emotional." -"Los Angeles Magazine" "Murakami is a genius." -"Chicago Tribune" "Murakami has an unmatched gift for turning psychological metaphors into uncanny narratives." -"The New York Times Book Review" "An agonizing, sweet story about the power and the pain of love. . . . Immensely deepened by perfect little images that leave much to be filled in by the reader's heart or eye." -"The Baltimore Sun" "[Murakami belongs] in the topmost rank of writers of international stature." -"Newsday" "Murakami's true achievement lies in the humor and vision he brings to even the most despairing moments." -"The New Yorker" "Perhaps better than any contemporary writer, [Murakami] captures and lays bare the raw human emotion of longing." -"BookPage" "Murakami . . . has a deep interest in the alienation of self, which lifts [Sputnik Sweetheart] into both fantasy and philosophy." -"San Francisco Chronicle" "Not just a great Japanese writer but a great writer, period." -"Los Angeles Times Book Review"

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Twenty-two-year old Sumire is in love for the first time with a woman 17 years her senior. However, Miu is a glamorous and successful older woman with a taste for classical music and fine wine, while Sumire is an aspiring writer who dresses in an oversized second-hand coat and heavy boots. Surprised, after all, that she might be a lesbian, Sumire talks endlessly on the phone to her best friend K about the big questions of love and desire. K, a primary school teacher, is used to answering questions but what he most wants is to tell Sumire he loves her. Frustrated in his love for Sumire, K begins an affair with the mother of one of his pupils. When a desperate Miu phones him, out of the blue, from a Greek island, he discovers that all is not as it seems and something very strange has happened to Sumire.
