“A haunting melody triggers a flood of memories for Toru Watanabe. The Beatles’ “”Norwegian Wood”” transports him back to his Tokyo college days, a time of emotional turmoil and complicated relationships.
Toru reconnects with Naoko, the girlfriend of his deceased best friend. Their bond is built on shared grief, but unspoken feelings simmer beneath the surface. However, a vibrant and outgoing classmate, Midori, bursts into his life, offering a contrasting energy.
Norwegian Wood is a coming-of-age story exploring love, loss, friendship, and the complexities of desire. Set against the backdrop of 1960s student unrest, it’s a captivating novel for those who crave a bittersweet exploration of first love and navigating the path between past and future”
