About Norwegian Wood
Norwegian Wood tells the story of Toru Watanabe, a 37-year-old man who is plunged into memories of his days as a student when he hears the song ‘Norwegian Wood’, which was a favourite of his then-girlfriend, Naoko. This leads to an intense emotional journey through the past, as Toru recalls the details of his turbulent relationship with her, her struggles with mental illness and eventual suicide after being admitted to a sanatorium and his encounters with other women before and after her death. This powerful exploration of the complexities and heartbreak of first loves has remained popular since it was first published in 1987, and remains Murakami’s most-read novel.
