Summary

London, 1938. After a music hall performance, Richard Hadley encounters the mysterious Miss Lambert, a woman who seems to have attracted the attention of dangerous forces.

As old acquaintances, political figures, and suspicious strangers enter the picture, he finds himself caught up in a puzzling adventure whose true stakes he can barely comprehend. Blending espionage, eccentric characters, music, and understated humour, Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro delivers a playful period mystery in which nothing is quite as it seems.

Kazuo Ishiguro

Kazuo Ishiguro is a British novelist and screenwriter of Japanese origin, born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954. His family moved to England when he was five years old. He is celebrated for his subtle, emotionally restrained prose and his exploration of memory, identity, love, regret, and the ways people construct narratives about their own lives. His novels often examine how personal experiences intersect with historical events and social change. His best-known works include The Remains of the Day (1989), which won the Booker Prize, Never Let Me Go (2005), and Klara and the Sun (2021). In 2017, Ishiguro was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his novels, which reveal the hidden depths of human experience and the illusions that shape our understanding of ourselves.
