Set in late-1960s Tokyo, Norwegian Wood follows university student Toru Watanabe as he navigates grief, memory, friendship and love.

From Amelia's Bookshelf
This book is full of sorrows and sadness. I think what matters the most is whats inside your heart and what you feel as at last Toru did realize he wanted Midori. The Naoko character is just selfish and I didn't like her. However, Toru did have an interesting personality by the way he talk and how he bring himself. Such a long journey but within a short timeline, Murakami had bring me into a deep read.
