The extraordinary new novel by Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro, author of "Never Let Me Go" and "The Remains of the Day." The Romans have long since departed, and Britain is steadily falling into ruin. But at least the wars that once ravaged the land have ceased. "The Buried Giant" begins as a couple, Axl and Beatrice, set out to traverse a foggy and rainy, restless land in hopes of finding a son they haven't seen in years. They expect to encounter many dangers—some strange and otherworldly—but they cannot yet foresee how their journey will reveal dark and forgotten corners of their love for each other. Sometimes wild, often profoundly moving, Kazuo Ishiguro's first novel in a decade explores lost memories, love, revenge, and war.
