Nocturnes - Kazuo Ishiguro 2009 *****



The first book I have read by this astounding author. It won't be the last. Ishiguro has such a stunning and beautiful way of piecing words together. Here he presents us with 5 utterly different stories all linked together by particular events in the lives of the people. We are transported from Italy to the Malvern Hills, then to Hollywood and London. All the characters are sculptured like fine art, and the stories have a musical lilt to them, as though swaying you from one to the next.
I think this author is utterly unique, and I will be reading more of his work.
