""Delicate, absorbing...as satisfying as it is moving."" — Vogue
A mesmerizing, panoramic story of one man’s search to find a lover who suddenly disappeared decades before
When the pandemic hits, Kristofer is forced to shutter his successful restaurant in Reykjavik, sending him into a spiral of uncertainty, even as his memory seems to be failing. But an uncanny bolt from the blue—a message from Miko Nakamura, a woman whom he’d known in the sixties when they were students in London—both inspires and rattles him, as he is drawn inexorably back into a love story that has marked him for life. Even as the pandemic upends his world, Kristofer finds himself pulled toward an answer to the mystery of Miko’s sudden departure decades before, compelling him to travel to London and Japan as the virus threatens to shut everything down.
A heart-wrenching love story and an absorbing mystery, Touch delves into the secrets of the past to explore the hidden lives that we all possess, the pain and beauty of our past loves and friendships that continue to leave their mark on us. Searching and lyrically rendered by acclaimed author Olaf Olafsson, Touch is a stunning tribute to the weight of history and the complexities of the human heart.

"Touch" has been described as "mesmerizing" and perhaps you too can feel a little mesmerized if you like the detailed descriptions of each idiosyncratic movement of the characters through the language of modern writers. However, I find this kind of writing style very annoying and boring because nothing really happens: you say too much by not really speaking. In other words, the main message is simple, but the author keeps pushing the plot forward and freezing the story to fill the pages. This reminded me of "A Man Called Ove," in which Fredrik Backman did something similar in a more emotional way. Like Ove, the main character of "Touch", Kristopher, is very self-centered, selfish and has no empathy. Maybe not, but somehow I could not help but feel that way about him. He is emotionally damaged by the sudden disappearance of the Japanese girl he was once in love with, which leaves scars on his soul and leads to an unhappy adolescence.
