Nocturnes
Ishiguro, Kazuo

Description

Even if you would never usually pick up a book of short stories, do make an exception for this thought-provoking and atmospheric new collection by one of the current literary greats, Kazuo Ishiguro, most famous for “Remains of the Day”.

In each cleverly-constructed story, the coming-together of the main characters happens at a critical turning point in their lives when something triggers in them the need to re-evaluate and re-assess. With humour and a tender approach Ishiguro lends each story a wonderfully evocative background of night-time and of music.  From the backwaters of Venice to the Malvern Hills, these are gorgeous snapshots of life and loss. (Juliette)
