Journal Entry 1 by Rosiecub from Battisford, Suffolk United Kingdom on Wednesday, January 29, 2003
"England, 1930's. Christopher Banks has become the country's most celebrated detective, his cases the talk of London society. Yet one unsolved crime has always haunted him; the mysterious disappearance of his parents, in Old Shanghai, when he was a small boy."

Not so much a detective story as a journey of self-discovery. Ishiguro has a real affinity with his characters, opening up their emotions to the reader. The effect of historical events - such as war - on their lives, makes compelling reading. It is a book you think about long after you've finished reading it.
