The Buried Giant - Kazuo Ishiguro

The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro is a profound and haunting novel that blends fantasy, memory, and love in a tale of both personal and historical significance. Set in post-Arthurian Britain, the story follows an elderly couple, Axl and Beatrice, as they embark on a perilous journey to find their son, whom they haven't seen in years. A mysterious fog has settled over the land, causing the people to forget their pasts, and as Axl and Beatrice travel through a war-torn country, they begin to question their own memories, their relationship, and the cost of remembering.

As they encounter strange and mystical characters—a knight, a Saxon warrior, and a dangerous dragon—the couple must confront their past and decide what is worth remembering and what is better left forgotten. The Buried Giant is an unforgettable exploration of memory, love, and the scars left by war, written in Ishiguro’s signature quiet and reflective style.
