Stranger trilogy by novoneel is my top most favorite trilogy by any indian author in genre of suspence-thrill.

Forget me not, Stranger

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

Before i start the review of this book , i would like to Strongly recommend you all this masterpiece by Murakami even if you don't like reading much.
Now coming to the book , so , the story revolves mainly around 3 individuals who have faced tragedies in their own ways.
Toru watanabe is a ambitious young man, doesn't have more than 1-2 friends, loves reading and is struck between Naoko and Midori.
Naoko is also a student , quite introvert, very much in love with Toru and later becomes quite expressive about it.She deals with mental illness most of the times.
Midori is quite open minded and extroverted girl, she has different fantasies about life and happens to like Toru too.
Before you judge that it's a romantic book, let me tell you, it's a TRAGIC romance, includes the issues of depression , loneliness, student  protests and mostly every issue which a person faces and how he / she deals with it.
This book clearly shows the idea of death as a very natural phenomenon and the people who hold on to life and the ones who give up.
MY RATING-5/5
