Consider Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. Recommended by 7 sources.
“Murakami's prose inhabits Toru’s quiet, inward voice, moving through campus rooms and memory with spare, melancholic detail. The most useful part is how small domestic moments and steady first-person narration make loneliness and mourning feel tactile and slow-burning. The main limitation is repetition: long stretches of interior monologue and muted melancholy can stagnate the middle, testing patience. Readers who want plot momentum or emotional variety will find the tone indulgent, while those receptive to lingering mood will be rewarded.”
