Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

​"Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions."

​Fifteen-year-old Kafka Tamura runs away from home to escape a dark prophecy and find his long-lost mother and sister. His journey leads him to a quiet, private library in Takamatsu, a place that feels both like a sanctuary and a dream.

​Meanwhile, an elderly man named Nakata—who lost his memory but gained the ability to talk to cats—embarks on a mysterious quest of his own. As their two paths begin to converge, the boundary between the real world and the spirit world dissolves into a landscape of raining fish, enchanted forests, and shadows that come to life.
