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.
This week's book is Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami and we'll not be meeting at The Fletcher Moss on William Street in Didsbury but will be meeting online — contact us for details.
