Nocturnes by Kazuo Ishiguro
A collection of 5 bitter sweet short stories that we all enjoyed reading. The different themes running through the stories were those of music and struggling musicians, relationships which are failing and the inability of people to recognize their limitations. Going from Venice to the Malvern Hills and onto the US and the world of celebrity superficiality. The stories are very readable and subtle with an ability to stand back quietly and surprise the reader. Sometimes melancholic and sometimes very funny. The stories definitely lend themselves to a second reading.
We gave them an average of 4 stars.
