Ages ago I tried to read his famous Norwegian Wood, but couldn’t enter into the story and didn’t finish it. Since then, I’ve been avoiding this author’s books. Then I read a good article about his work recently and decided try to enter his world once again. It worked this time - I finished this collection with great speed and throughly enjoyed all the tales in it. So if you are wondering whether or not you want spend your time reading his books, I recommend to try this collection. I think you won’t be disappointed. Review: Enjoyable Marukami as ever - Most of the stories are really interesting and Marukami's style is always captivating. The only disappointment was the last story where a key protagonist is a monkey that actually talks to humans- I thought this story was a bit silly and frankly it seemed like the author did not know how to finish the story so came up with a wacky storyline to fill the void. This book is not as good as his last book 'Men without women' - hence 4 stars. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 243,331 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,040 in Cultural Heritage Fiction 1,646 in Fantasy Anthologies (Books) 5,668 in Short Stories (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,276 Reviews | ## Images ![Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman: Haruki Murakami - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710YA4tCsYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entering into Magical World of Murakami *by N***I on 16 August 2023* This is my 1st book by the author - actually 1.5th.

The only disappointment was the last story where a key protagonist is a monkey that actually talks to humans- I thought this story was a bit silly and frankly it seemed like the author did not know how to finish the story so came up with a wacky storyline to fill the void. This book is not as good as his last book 'Men without women' - hence 4 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great light read from a very deep intelligent author *by S***V on 18 June 2018* This was a very interesting and enjoyable read, more on the serious than the funny side but we'll balanced regardless. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys slice of life and psychological themes. I would warn that most of these short stories don't have a concrete in book conclusion, so if you don't enjoy that you may be disappointed. Finally most of the stories are set in the author's homeland, Japan. The translators did a very good job as far as I could see. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/52959345-blind-willow-sleeping-woman-haruki-murakami](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/52959345-blind-willow-sleeping-woman-haruki-murakami) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
