distant mountains and pale shadows

A Pale View of Hills

"A Pale Shadow of Hills" is Kazuo Ishiguro's stunning debut novel, a masterpiece that remains in print 30 years after its publication. Its fusion and balance of sentimentality and irony are unforgettable. It is a foggy, ethereal memory. In postwar Nagasaki, a mother and daughter, burdened by hardship, long for stability and a new life, yet they remain haunted by the shadow of war and its inner demons. At the end of the play, the memory is stripped of its disguise, leaving the story filled with sorrow.
