Kafka on the shore

Do you like your life where you live? If not...  though about running away from home?
Want to talk to cats?

In this book we follow two different parallel universes. 

In the first parallel universe, a 15- years old boy, named Kafka run away from home, hunting for his mother and his older sister.

In the other "universe" the writer tells Nakatas story. In an old age he helps lost cats to their home, After an accident in his childhood he got the feature that gave him the trait to talk to cats, and understand them. 




The narrative runs back and forth between the two parallels, and they meet in a part of the book. 

I think the book was amazing. Maybe I was a little young, because its referencing to the World War ||, and some other important moments of history.  




Good written and makes you think.
Recommended: 15+
