Synopsis

Twenty-two-year old Sumire is in love for the first time with a woman 17 years her senior. However, Miu is a glamorous and successful older woman with a taste for classical music and fine wine, while Sumire is an aspiring writer who dresses in an oversized second-hand coat and heavy boots. Surprised, after all, that she might be a lesbian, Sumire talks endlessly on the phone to her best friend K about the big questions of love and desire. K, a primary school teacher, is used to answering questions but what he most wants is to tell Sumire he loves her. Frustrated in his love for Sumire, K begins an affair with the mother of one of his pupils. When a desperate Miu phones him, out of the blue, from a Greek island, he discovers that all is not as it seems and something very strange has happened to Sumire.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

In 1978, Haruki Murakami was twenty-nine and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, that turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon.

In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and Men Without Women, Murakami's distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring his place as one of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers.
