All literature lovers
- To share the joys of reading fiction.

British author Kazuo Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2017 for his "novels of great emotional force". Ishiguro’s fiction delves into the intricate inner worlds of characters who struggle with scarring memories and experiences. They tend to engage in a process of self-delusion and fictionalization, in an attempt to make sense of their lives and come to terms with their pasts. In A Pale View of Hills, Ishiguro explores such topics in the figure of a mother striving to fathom the reasons for her estrangement from her two daughters. In this process, she will be piecing together scraps of memory from the time she lived in Nagasaki shortly after World War II and befriended a mysterious woman with a murky past.
