About this product

Product Information

It is 1948. Japan is rebuilding her cities after the calamity of World War II, her people putting defeat behind them and looking to the future. The celebrated painter, Masuji Ono, fills his days attending to his garden, his house repairs, his two grown daughters and his grandson; his evenings drinking with old associates in quiet lantern-lit bars. His should be a tranquil retirement. But as his memories continually return to the past - to a life and career deeply touched by the rise of Japanese militarism - a dark shadow begins to grow over his serenity.

Beautifully written novel
This was my first Ishiguro. If found it beautifully written with a fineness and delicacy that was a great pleasure to read. The construction of the story and the pacing are spot-on. The dialogue, with characters feeling bound by Japanese requirements for politeness when they don't feel like being polite, is very cleverly handled. I look forward to reading more by this writer.
