Anotace
From the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go
In his highly acclaimed debut, Kazuo Ishiguro tells the story of Etsuko, a Japanese woman now living alone in England, dwelling on the recent suicide of her daughter.
Retreating into the past, she finds herself reliving one particular hot summer night in Nagasaki, when she and her friends struggled to rebuild their lives after the war. But then as she recalls her strange friendship with Sachiko - a wealthy woman reduced to vagrancy - the memories take on a disturbing cast.
Review
An original and remarkable genius., New York Times
A macabre and faultlessly worked enigma., Sunday Times
A delicate, ironic, elliptical novel. Its characters are remarkably convincing. but what one remembers is its balance, halfway between elegy and irony., New York Times Book Review -
