KAZUO ISHIGURO - GEBRAUCHT WHEN WE WERE ORPHANS...

From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize-winning novel
The Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination. Born in
early-twentieth-century Shanghai  Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate
disappearances of his parents. Now  more than twenty years later  he is a celebrated figure in
London society  yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to
illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething
labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own  painful past  only
to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition-and that his own recollections are
proving as difficult to trust as the people around him. Masterful  suspenseful and
psychologically acute  When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting
quality of memory  and the possibility of avenging one's past.
