Description
A tranquil retirement seems within reach for Masuji Ono, a celebrated painter who fills his days with gardening, family, and quiet evenings with old associates. However, as his memories of the past continue to resurface, a dark shadow begins to grow over his serenity. This poignant novel explores the complexities of a life deeply touched by the rise of Japanese militarism, and the weight of those memories on the present. With spare elegance and understated power, Ishiguro crafts a work of narrative that is both refined and economically precise.
