Description

Paperback | 304 pages

Stunning and elegiac,Norwegian Woodfirst propelled Haruki Murakami into the forefront of the literary scene.

Toru, a serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. As Naoko retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself drawn to a fiercely independent and sexually liberated young woman.

A magnificent coming-of-age story steeped in nostalgia,Norwegian Woodblends the music, the mood, and the ethos that were the sixties with a young mans hopeless and heroic first love.
