Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall Book

A finely crafted collection of five overlapping short stories from award-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro, Nocturnes acts as another opportunity for this talented author to emphasise the power of character in storytelling as his creations flit from one tale to another almost of their own volition. Driven by an almost dream-like narrative, this short-story cycle is touchingly beautiful in places and takes an evocative look at the way in which music can bring people together, but promise ideals that may never reflect reality. Elegantly crafted and compulsive reading, this is another hit from the author of such great novels as The Remains of the Day.Read More
