Norwegian Wood
by Haruki Murakami
📚 Genre: Literary Fiction, Coming-of-Age, Romance
A tender, melancholic tale of love, loss, and the quiet ache of growing up.
When Toru Watanabe hears the Beatles’ song “Norwegian Wood,” it takes him back to his youth—an era of longing, heartbreak, and fragile connections. Set in 1960s Tokyo, this poignant novel follows Toru as he navigates university life, mental health, and two very different women: Naoko, emotionally delicate and haunted by the past, and Midori, vibrant and unpredictable.
With Murakami’s signature blend of emotional depth, lyrical prose, and quiet surrealism, Norwegian Wood captures the bittersweet beauty of first loves and the ghosts they leave behind.
A cult classic that resonates deeply with readers around the world, this is a novel that lingers in the soul long after the last page is turned.
