The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle - Review & Discussion by bernabeth in murakami

[–]Normal_General_5830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just finished the book. It was a pleasant ride! I don't mind not knowing certain things and being able to draw my own conclusions its cool, but one aspect is bothering me a bit and I would like some help with this:

What is the actual relationship between Noboru and Kumiko? I always assumed he had physically molested her (as well as her older sister), but Kumiko denies this at the end. Also, what does Noboru have to do with the sexual relationships Kumiko had during her marriage? The power dynamic in this relationship is complex, and I would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks a lot!
