This massive, but massively-entertaining, book tells the story of Aomame, a fitness instructor who moonlights as the occasional assassin, and Tengo, a writer and part-time math tutor, who find themselves in an alternate Japan in 1984. The first clue, things are not normal? There are two moons in the sky. As they both attempt to understand the changed world around them, the story becomes one of loneliness and the power of human companionship, culminating in a satisfying conclusion as the two find each other after decades of separation and vow never to let go again.
