But after he moves to Tokyo to continue his studies, he returns to Nagoya to discover none of his friends want anything to do with him. He is deeply hurt and only sixteen years later when he meets Jane, she encourages him to revisit his friends and find out the mystery behind why he was ostracized.
A moving story about friendships, loss and new beginnings.
I see you get your books from my home town library! I grew up in Port Moody and lived near the library in Balmoral Place for 10 years before moving to the Interior and then finally Edmonton.
This sounds like a great read. 🙂

Yes, it’s a cute library under renovations at the moment. Murakami’s an interesting author. I have another of his I’m going to blog on later that I liked even more.
