The Buried Giant
In 'The Buried Giant' by Kazuo Ishiguro, the reader is transported to a post-Arthurian Britain where a mist of forgetfulness blankets the land, obscuring memories and past grievances. The story follows an elderly couple, Axl and Beatrice, as they embark on a poignant journey to find their long-lost son. Along the way, they encounter various characters and unearth buried truths about their own relationship and the land's history. Ishiguro masterfully weaves themes of memory, love, and reconciliation into this atmospheric tale, prompting readers to contemplate the power of collective forgetting and the cost of remembering. A haunting and thought-provoking read.
