Harry Hartog's review
This book by Japanese literary legend Haruki Murakami is a work of art. This book ticks all the classic Murakami boxes and is perfect for a dedicated fan or a new reader looking to be placed under Murakami’s spell. Paying homage to his previous works such as Kafka on the Shore and Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Killing Commendatore is sure to become another classic. - Lauren, Subscriptions
Description
The latest bewitching, kaleidoscopic novel from master storyteller Haruki Murakami, author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and 1Q84
We all live our lives carrying secrets we cannot disclose.
'Beguiling... Murakami is brilliant at folding the humdrum alongside the supernatural; finding the magic that's nested in life's quotidian details' Guardian
When a thirty-something portrait painter is abandoned by his wife, he holes up in the mountain home of a famous artist. The days drift by, spent painting, listening to music and drinking whiskey in the evenings. But then he discovers a strange painting in the attic and unintentionally begins a strange journey of self-discovery that involves a mysterious ringing bell, a precocious thirteen-year-old girl, a Nazi assassination attempt and a haunted underworld.
A stunning work of imagination, Killing Commendatore is a surreal tale of love and loneliness, war and art.
