Norwegian Wood
Lovely, strange, and really captured the painful beauty of transitioning from teen to young adult. Having recently read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, I was tickled to find some parallel themes and motifs in this earlier work. In contrast to the later Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Norwegian Wood was less masterful and darkly magical. It was more a quirky mainstream, more tender in its treatment of characters, and created an offbeat sweetness I'll always remember.
