Kad padne mrak

Kad padne mrak

Haruki Murakami

When it gets dark" is a novel about encounters that take place in that deaf and mysterious time between midnight and dawn.

In the center of the story are two sisters - Eri, a beauty and a model who sleeps as if she is searching for oblivion in her sleep, and the student Mari who during the novel closes a thick book that she was reading in solitude in an anonymous restaurant and meets people who seem to live in someone else's worlds: there is a jazz trombonist who claims to have known her before, the arrogant director of a "love hotel" and her team, a small Chinese prostitute who was brutally beaten by a Japanese businessman. But it is precisely among these "people of the night" that Mari finds kindred spirits because the most hidden secrets and deep needs connect them more than they are divided by different life circumstances, while Eri, who is in a mysterious relationship with a cruel abuser of women, seeks salvation in a dream. "When it gets dark" takes us on an unusual journey from dramatic events to metaphysical reflections, a journey in which space and time, memories and knowledge about the human soul, the power of observation and the power of love and empathy are intertwined.
