Escape to the Scottish Highlands where a tiny bookshop perches on the edge of a loch • Zoe is a single mother, sinking beneath the waves trying to cope by herself in London. Hari, her gorgeous little boy is perfect in every way - except for the fact that he just doesn't speak, at all. When her landlord raises the rent on her flat, Zoe doesn't know where to turn • Then Hari's aunt suggests Zoe could move to Scotland to help run a bookshop. Going from the lonely city to a small village in the Highlands could be the change Zoe and Hari desperately need • Faced with an unwelcoming boss, a moody, distant bookseller named Ramsay Urquart, and a band of unruly children, Zoe wonders if she's made the right decision. But Hari has found his very first real friend, and no one could resist the beauty of the loch glinting in the summer sun

Пятнадцатилетний Кафка Тамура сбегает из дома, преследуемый мрачным пророчеством отца • Простая жизнь Накаты, так и не оправившегося от странного недуга детства и занимающегося поиском пропавших кошек, переворачивается с ног на голову • Их раскрывающиеся параллельно истории фантасмагоричны: кошки разговаривают с людьми, рыбы падают с неба, сутенёр замогильного образа даёт полюбоваться цитирующей Гегеля ночной фекй, в лесу прячутся солдаты времён Второй мировой, ни капли не постаревшие за прошедшие десятилетия. Не обходится и без жестокого убийства, но неизвестной остаётся личность как самого преступника, так и его жертвы. И это лишь одна из загадок, из которых складывается "Кафка на пляже" - элегантный и фантастический образец литературного искусства
