Norwegian Wood

The haunting, enigmatic love story that turned Murakami into a literary superstar in Japan, and is his bestselling title throughout the world Autumn 1969, and soon I would be 20. When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost twenty years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss and desire - to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches into his life and he has to choose between the future and the past. ''Such is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami''s writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility'' Guardian ''Poignant, romantic and hopeless, it beautifully encapsulates the heartbreak and loss of faith'' Sunday Times ''A masterly novel'' New York Times
