Tsukuru Tazaki had four best friends at school. By chance all of their names contained a colour. The two boys were called Akamatsu, meaning 'red pine', and Oumi, 'blue sea', while the girls' names were Shirane, 'white root', and Kurono, 'black field'. Tazaki was the only last name with no colour in it. One day Tsukuru Tazaki's friends announced that they didn't want to see him, or talk to him, ever again. Since that day Tsukuru has been floating through life, unable to form intimate connections with anyone. But then he meets Sara, who tells him that the time has come to find out what happened all those years ago.

Another Brilliant Murakami Read.

4 stelle

This book, like all Murakami books, managed to pick me up and remove my mind from the restrictive realms of reality and allow it to swim in the depths of hyper-awareness. During and after reading any of Murakami’s books, I feel life in a far more vivid and powerful manner; as though all the small things that I never would’ve paid overt attention to hold a true, deep, new-founded beauty. Whenever I feel as though I am losing grasp of reality, I will always return to Murakami.
