The Book Club book
This is a wonderful book telling a nostalgic story of love and growing up. Toru Watanabe remembers Naoko, his first love, when he hears her favourite Beatles song, Norwegian Wood. In remembering his student days in Tokyo, he recalls what life was like for him - and to the time when Midori entered into his life.
Evocative, entertaining, sexy and funny; but then Murakami is one of the best writers around' Time Out
'Poignant, romantic and hopeless, it beautifully encapsulates the heartbreak and loss of faith' Sunday Times
'This book is undeniably hip, full of student uprisings, free love, booze and 1960s pop, it's also genuinely emotionally engaging, and describes the highs of adolescence as well as the lows' Independent on Sunday
Geoff says:
"When it was published Norwegian Wood was hugely popular with young people in Japan and made Murakami a literary superstar in his native country, and later, across the world."
