*Kazuo Ishiguro's new novel Klara and the Sun is now available*
Kazuo Ishiguro's highly acclaimed debut, first published in 1982,
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
in Nagasaki, when she and her friends struggled to rebuild their
lives after the war. But as she recalls her strange friendship with
Sachiko - a wealthy woman reduced to vagrancy - the memories start
to take on a disturbing cast. 'A macabre and faultlessly worked
enigma.' Sunday Times 'One of the outstanding fictional debuts of
recent years.' Observer '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 'An extraordinarily fine first novel . its themes are
deceptively large and uncommonly haunting.' Los Angeles Times
