She waited on tables as usual that day, her twentieth birthday. She always worked Fridays, but if things had gone according to plan on that particular Friday, she would have had the night off.
One rainy Tokyo night, a waitress?s uneventful twentieth birthday takes a strange and fateful turn when she?s asked to deliver dinner to the restaurant?s reclusive owner. Birthday Girlis a beguiling, exquisitely satisfying taste of master storytelling, published to celebrate Murakami?s 70th birthday.
Birthday Girlis also available in Birthday Storiesand Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman.
