First Murakami! Surely a sad book but also very relaxing in atmosphere. I became immersed everytime I picked it up which is something I seek for in reading. Interesting speculations on grief love and friendship. Can see how this may not be for everyone. However I particularly enjoyed this a lot. A quiet and nuanced story that is definitely sticking with me.
