¡@Description
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. 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.
