: :
: Following the massive complexity of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle--Haruki :
: Murakami's best-selling, award-winning novel--comes this deceptively simple:
: love story, a contemporary rendering of the romance in which a boy finds :
: and then loses a girl, only to meet her again years later. :
: :
: Hajime--"Beginning" in Japanese--was an atypical only child growing up in a:
: conventional middle-class suburb. Shimamoto, herself an only child, was :
: cool and self-possessed, precocious in the extreme. After school these :
: childhood sweethearts would listen to records, hold hands, and talk about :
: their future. Then, despite themselves, in the way peculiar to adolescents,:
: they grew apart, seemingly for good. :
: :
: Now, facing middle age, finally content after years of aimlessness, Hajime :
: is a successful nightclub owner, a husband and father, when he suddenly is :
: reunited with Shimamoto, propelled into the mysteries of her life, and :
: confronted by dark secrets she is loath to reveal. And so, reckless with :
: enchantment and lust, Hajime prepares to risk everything in order to :
: consummate his first love, and to experience a life he's dreamed of but :
: never had a chance to realize. :
: :
: Bittersweet, passionate, and ultimately redemptive, South of the Border, :
: West of the Sun is an intricate examination of desire, illuminating the :
: persistent power of childhood and memory in matters of the heart. :
