A book full of symbolism, allegory and recollection. So it's not an easy read, even if you're just trying to follow the plot. It whips back and forward ever so slowly, but each transition is jarring and yet gentle.
A book of contradictions, beautiful language and plot delivered inside dialogue. Often Ishiguro will recall conversations between people and events, so you jump to a new chapter and there are people and things that were not there before, then a character will recount how that happened. Occasionally hard to follow, worth the effort though.
Never really sure where it would end up, who was important and who was not, and what it all meant. Until the Buried Giant is revealed and the Ferryman remains unpaid.
