Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami Indigenous Studies Bidini’s encounters with odd-sized rinks8vo. pp. 210. wrs. New York: Vintage International, [2002]. Part romance, part detective story, Sputnik Sweetheart tells the story of a tangled triangle of uniquely unrequited love.

At least, that is, until she meets an older woman to whom she finds herself irresistibly drawn.
