An internationally acclaimed novel that evokes the absorption and giddy rush of adolescent love - Toru Watanabe looks back on the passions of his life and tries to make sense of them and as his first love Naoko sinks deeper into mental despair he is inexorably pushed to find new meanings and new love to surviveA haunting story of the search for identity in an impersonal modern society.
