After Dark by Haruki Murakami
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Who can make a night of about 12 hours and be fully engaged on stories. he can.
I am pleasantly surprised that this book kept me engaged throughout, and who would have thought that so many things can happened in a night?
a girl ‘running’ away from home, choosing to read a thick book in cafes, an absolute introvert, a chance meeting with her sister’s friend and then got involved in helping a foreign girl being hit in a love hotel, deepening friendships and personal reveals. it’s a one-night adventure.
and all this while, trying to understand and find out what happened to her sister who have been sleeping and have not woken up for two months since.
at the end, it is, a story of two sisters finding their way back to each other, after feeling estranged from one another because of their different personalities and pursues. it really touches me, when at the end, the girl came back to her sister, still peacefully sleeping, and slept beside her sister.
