Kazuo Ishiguro’s first novel is centered around his seemingly favourite theme – Japan and her role in the War.
As I read on, however, I found that the plot had some sinister undertones, and it was not until I read this review when these undertones were affirmed: http://thefrenchexit.blogspot.sg/2011/06/what-hell-is-up-with-pale-view-of-hills.html
Masterful plot and imagery, as usual, from one of the writers I am feeling increasingly close with.
