Hearing the Beatles song that gives the novel its title, Toru Watanabe recalls his student years in Tokyo. Amid unstable friendships, love, loss and desire, he relives his relationship with Naoko, the first love of his youth, while the impetuous Midori bursts into his life and poses a choice between past and future.
