Tsukuru Tazaki had four best friends at school. By chance all of their names contained a colour. The two boys were called Akamatsu, meaning 'red pine', and Oumi, 'blue sea', while the girls' names were Shirane, 'white root', and Kurono, 'black field'. Tazaki was the only last name with no colour in it. One day Tsukuru Tazaki's friends announced that they didn't want to see him, or talk to him, ever again. Since that day Tsukuru has been floating through life, unable to form intimate connections with anyone. But then he meets Sara, who tells him that the time has come to find out what happened all those years ago.

Work Description
Tsukuru Tazaki reexamines his simple life as he searches for his closest high school friends to discover why he was suddenly ostracized from their group.
"Cuando Tsukuru Tazakiera adolescente, se sentaba durante horas en las estaciones para ver pasar los trenes. Ahora, con treinta y seis años, es un ingeniero que diseña y construye estaciones de ferrocarril y que lleva una vida tranquila, tal vez demasiado solitaria. Cuando conoce a Sara, una mujer por la que se siente atraído, empieza a plantearse cuestiones que creía definitivamente zanjadas. Entre otras, un traumático episodio de su juventud: cuando iba a la universidad, el que fue su grupo de amigos desde la adolescencia cortó bruscamente, sin dar explicaciones, toda relación con él, y la experiencia fue tan dolorosa que Tsukuru incluso acarició la idea del suicidio. Ahora, dieciséis años despuís, quizá logre averiguar qué sucedió exactamente. Ecos del pasado y del presente, pianistas capaces de predecir la muerte y de ver el color de las personas, manos de seis dedos, sueños perturbadores, muchachas frágiles y muertes que suscitan interrogantes componen el paisaje, pautado por las notas de Los años de peregrinaciónde Liszt, por el que Tsukuru viajará en busca de sentimientos largo tiempo ocultos. Decididamente, le ha llegado la hora de subirse a un tren."--P. [4] of cover.
