A review by shmole
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro

5.0

Hit me especially hard. A fable about lost memories and old undying love. What more do you need? Ishiguro is a master of emotion.

A mysterious, reflective Arturian fable about the power of time and memory, and what happens when we lose both. Everything that Kazuo Ishiguro has written is worth reading, but this is a standout to me. A slowly burning, emotional spin on the old knight's tale where the details are doled out bit-by-bit to keep you curious at every step. At its core, this book is a sad adult fairytale.
