Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Sumire is in love with a woman 17 years her senior. But whereas Miu is glamorous and successful, Sumire is an aspiring writer who dresses in an oversized second-hand coat and heavy boots like a character in a Kerouac novel.
Sumire spends hours on the phone talking to her best friend K about the big questions in life: what is sexual desire, and should she ever tell Miu how she feels for her? Meanwhile K wonders whether he should confess his own unrequited love for Sumire.
Then, a desperate Miu calls from a small Greek island: Sumire has mysteriously vanished....

Painful but worth it
As a huge fan of Murakami I continued my journey to read all his books. All of them stuck with me, but this one was very hard to get into at first. I think I even only started to enjoy it at the end. If you’ve ever felt loneliness (ie if you’re a human being) then it will strike you in one way or another. It will hurt and you will feel the solitude of the protagonist as your own, but that is the beauty of this book. Although we’re lonely, we’re all connected to the same line that connects us to reality.

Not one of Murakami's best books.
But still worth listening to on a rainy day. The Narrator does a really good job.

enjoy the book. it's a good one 🙂
Coming from an incomplete Norwegian wood ( i will get there, eventually) i was hoping for the surreal dream like narrative of Murakami. it took a bit to develop but was worth it. Kafka by the shore is still number one for me, but this one was quite light (volume wise) and easy to follow.

Least enjoyed book from Murakami’s works
The story is well written, but the story itself leads nowhere. It did help me fall asleep but that’s about it.
