Book synopsis
Haunted by the melody of the Beatles’ 'Norwegian Wood,' thirty-seven-year-old Toru Watanabe is transported back to the late 1960s and his formative student years in Tokyo. He recalls his complicated relationship with Naoko, a beautiful but fragile girl whose tragic past binds them together in a fragile, shifting bond. Against a backdrop of student unrest and personal loss, Toru navigates the painful transition into adulthood and the weight of memories that refuse to fade.
