Journal Entry 3 by kingfan30 at Somewhere in Lincs đ¤ˇââď¸, Lincolnshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, June 1, 2021
Thank you so much for the extra books and supplies, you really are very generous
5 Nov 21 - This book is quite fascinating from the point of view of the culture, I hadnât realised about marriage negotiations at all. However this is a small part of this book, a lot of it is the main character looking back on his life. I almost felt like it drip feeds you information though, so it took me a while to work out what it was that was bothering him that might affect his daughters marriage negotiations. I felt like you never find out what has happened to his wife and son, however I have seen another review that says the wife was lost to a stray bomb and his son during the war, so maybe I missed that. It doesnât really go anywhere as such, but it is a small quick read.

Taken out of the Random bookbox. I do like Kazuo Ishiguro but am unfamiliar with this one so looking forward to reading it, thanks
A beautifully written novel about life in Japan after the war. The elegant prose portrays a tender glimpse into Japanese culture and history.
