……Dearest Cecilia, the story can resume. The one I had been planning on that evening walk. I can become again the man who once crossed the surrey park at dusk, in my best suit, swaggering on the promise of life. The man who, with the clarity of passion, made love to you in the library. The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you, marry you and live without shame……

4Beautiful day, birds are singing, trees are making those hypnotic sounds and sun is just awesomely HOT.
No one, neither I have thought this great beautiful romantic, inspirational environment is going to change soon. First chapters were like V. Woolf, so colourful so passionate.
And then, the sex scene in the middle and everything is broken apart… Suddenly you are in inhospitable environment of II. w.w. Dunkirk Dunkirk Dunkirk aaaaalllll about Dunkirk for 100 pages and after that, when you think dark and sad part is away, that from now there will be pure romance again…..It is London, Arguments, London, Blood, no head, no hand, no sole….. Dark and sad again.
The thing is, that I loved the book from the start, I loved the descriptions, I even loved characters. Cee was exactly that kind of girl I always wanted to be. Robbie that kind of man everyone adores. Bryony the type of girl WHO ALWAYS DOES SOMETHING, THAT RUINS ALL ROMANCE and BOOK I REALLY LIKE!!!!!!!
Ah, was anything more beautiful than the scene at the fountain? I don´t think soooo !

1 There is a problem to be solved. What causes that I find absolutely no interest in American classic? Is it me or the books… or is it just mine huuuge expectations? I don´t understand it …
Maybe I am not mature enough, maybe I haven´t read it carefoully I really don´t know. What I know is that Mr. Gatsby is going to wait in the shelve until I find enough time and maturity to reread it!
I still bet it is great book.

“A story f love in a cool climate, intensely romantic and weepily beautiful…it is startlingly different: a true original”- Guardian
Indeed an original! Ladies and gentleman, Mr. Murakami is a real artist. Not many modern authors can make people feel like Murakami does. Even though, the main character pisses you off, and sometimes you feel like closing the book , you can´t. Why is that? Because the art, energy and the Murakami world, that never changes, won´t let you!!
This book shouldn´t be read like “first Murakami”, it´s deep and fascinating, but people who don´t know how stuff works in his novels could be a little disappointed. But advanced Murakami readers will fall in love with it for instant.
Book starts slow, main character talks about his life and how he gave his heart to only three women. After talking comes action. When I talk about action I mean the usual Murakami action, Love, Pain,Love,Pain, Pain, Love, Pain. Not to make this too long I will just say…..PERFECT…..
Just make some lovely tea or mulled wine(I choose that one) and enjoy your lovely, nerve racking, sad evening full of deep LOVE!
