The haunting, mysterious love story that made Murakami a literary superstar in Japan and is his most popular title worldwide.

Fall 1969, and he will soon turn 20. When he hears his favorite Beatles song, Tōru Watanabe recalls his first love, Naoko, his best friend's girlfriend, Kizuki. Instantly, he is transported back nearly twenty years to his college days in Tokyo, into a world of awkward kisses, casual sexual encounters, passion, loss, and desire – a time when an unpredictable new woman, Midori, barges into his life, forcing him to choose between the future and the past.
