The year is 1Q84. This is the real world, there is no doubt about that. But in this world, there are two moons in the sky. In this world, the fates of two people, Tengo and Aomame, are closely intertwined. They are each, in their own way, doing something very dangerous. And in this world, it seems there is no way to save them both. This is a magnificent and fully-imagined work of fiction - a thriller, a love-story and a mind-bending ode to George Orwell's NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR.
