<p><b><i>*</i>Kazuo Ishiguro's new novel <i>Klara and the Sun </i>is now available to preorder<i>*</i></b><br><br><i><br>'It was our third time playing the Godfather theme since lunch...'</i><br><br>In a sublime short story collection, Kazuo Ishiguro explores ideas of love, music and the passing of time. From the piazzas of Italy to the Malvern Hills, a London flat to the 'hush-hush floor' of an exclusive Hollywood hotel, the characters we encounter range from young dreamers to cafe musicians to faded stars, all of them at some moment of reckoning.<br><br>Gentle, intimate and witty, this quintet is marked by a haunting theme: the struggle to keep alive a sense of life's romance, even as one gets older, relationships flounder and youthful hopes recede.<br><br>If you enjoyed <i>Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall</i>, you might also like Ishiguro's <i>The Remains of the Day</i>, now available in Faber Modern Classics.</p>
