About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost 20 years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss and desire - to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches into his life and he has to choose between the future and the past.

The person reading the book has such an arrogant voice, that all the characters and their subtle trademarks disappear, they all just seem hostile all the time.

Such a presumptuous voice

The reader let the story do the work and brought to life the words and world of this story which are so honest. And if you lived uni or school life lonely and unsure how to deal with love and loss then this is for you

Enjoyed the story, but the whiney nasal narration made every character sound petulant and unpleasant

Good story, sub-par narration
