Sputnik Sweetheart - Haruki Murakami
Moderator cut: image removed

"K, the narrator, is a sober, solitary, kind and intelligent young primary-school teacher in Tokyo. Sumire has dropped out of college and is bent on becoming a novelist. She smokes too much, clumps around in rough workboots and "an oversized herringbone coat from a second-hand shop" and wants to be a character in a Kerouac novel - "wild, cool, dissolute". Sumire and K are close, close friends - but platonic ones. In fact, Sumire believes she has fallen truly in love for the first time, with an enigmatic older woman called Miu who has given her a job in her wine company. Wondering whether this is the real thing - and does it mean she's lesbian? - Sumire chews the whole thing over with the long-suffering K, who listens willingly but has to bite his tongue because he is himself very much in love with Sumire. Always has been, always will be. But this is no straightforward will-they-won't-they-get-it-on story. The plot hots up: Sumire and Miu, who is innocent of Sumire's infatuation, go on a business trip together and end up on a Greek island for a short holiday. One night, K gets a call from a deeply distressed Miu begging him to come to the island immediately; it's something to do with Sumire. He drops everything and goes. "

beautiful tale of love and loneliness

Finally got this today.........



The Great Houses
Immovable. Implacable. Unchanging. Old enough to pass themselves off as immortal, arrogant enough to claim ultimate authority over the Spiral Politic.

The Enemy
Not so much an army as a hostile new kind of history. So ambitious it can re-write worlds, so complex that even calling it by its name seems to underestimate it.

Faction Paradox
Renegades, ritualists, saboteurs and subterfugers, the criminal-cult to end all criminal-cults, happy to be caught in the crossfire and ready to take whatever's needed from the wreckage... assuming the other powers leave behind a universe that's habitable.

The War
A fifty-year-old dispute over the two most valuable territories in existence: "cause" and "effect."

Marking the first five decades of the conflict, THE BOOK OF THE WAR is an A to Z of a self-contained continuum and a complete guide to the Spiral Politic, from the beginning of recordable time to the fall of humanity. Part story, part history and part puzzle-box, this is a chronicle of protocol and paranoia in a War where the historians win as many battles as the soldiers and the greatest victory of all is to hold on to your own past...

Focuses on the first 50 years of the "War in Heaven," the universe-rending conflict in which Faction Paradox and all its rival Houses are irrevocably involved.

Covers the rise and fall of the Faction, the lost history of the Compassion project, the secret origins of the Celestis and perhaps even the nature of the Enemy itself!
