Publisher Description

*PRE-ORDER HARUKI MURAKAMI’S NEW NOVEL, THE CITY AND ITS UNCERTAIN WALLS, NOW*

'A masterly novel' New York Times

'Such is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami's writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility' Guardian

Read the haunting love story that turned Murakami into a literary superstar.

When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost twenty years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss and desire - to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches into his life and he has to choose between the future and the past.

'Evocative, entertaining, sexy and funny; but then Murakami is one of the best writers around' Time Out

'Poignant, romantic and hopeless, it beautifully encapsulates the heartbreak and loss of faith' Sunday Times

'This book is undeniably hip, full of student uprisings, free love, booze and 1960s pop, it's also genuinely emotionally engaging, and describes the highs of adolescence as well as the lows' Independent on Sunday

Read

Do not miss reading Norwegian Wood. I am not much of a reviewer, but know I enjoyed book this greatly.

Peter Zadro ,

A heartfelt story of extraordinary grace and kindness

Such a beautiful book to read that transported me to a lovely world of Japanese feelings and culture… I treasured it so preciously and wept when it ended… maybe I’ll just have to read it again…

Designer Jean ,

It's uncanny to say how great it is.

But, what is it different with my paperback book version? It's the same publisher and the same translator, even my audio-book version. It should be fixed as the newest version.
