The City and Its Uncertain Walls

**What will you find in the city?

READERS LOVE THE CITY AND ITS UNCERTAIN WALLS**

‘Felt like stepping into a dream’
‘I really loved getting lost in this book’
‘Everyone on this planet should read Murakami at least once in their lifetime’
‘Riveting and irresistible’
‘It’s magical, it’s wise . . . deeply comforting’

A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, a breathtaking new novel about the boundaries between worlds and individuals, from the Sunday Times bestseller.

When a young man’s girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. His search will lead him to take a job in a remote library with mysteries of its own.

When he finally makes it to the walled city, a shadowless place of horned beasts and willow trees, he finds his beloved working in a different library – a dream library. But she has no memory of their life together in the other world and, as the lines between reality and fantasy start to blur, he must decide what he’s willing to lose.

The ultimate treat for Murakami fans.
