Product details

The story begins with Toru as a middle-aged man overwhelmed by nostalgia after hearing the Beatles' song "Norwegian Wood." It then moves to his youth, focusing on his complex relationships with two women: Naoko and Midori. Toru's best friend, Kizuki, who was close to Naoko, dies by suicide, deeply affecting both. Naoko struggles with mental illness and eventually enters a sanatorium. Toru stays devoted to her, but the emotional weight is heavy.

Toru also develops a relationship with Midori, a lively and outspoken classmate, representing a contrast to fragile Naoko. The novel explores themes of love, loss, mental health, and coming to terms with the past. Naoko's eventual suicide sends Toru into grief and reflection, leading him to wander rural Japan before beginning to open up to life and love again, symbolized by his choice to be with Midori Norwegian Wood
