Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain at the age of five. He is the author of four previous novels, including The Remains of the Day, an international bestseller that won the Booker Prize and was adapted into an award-winning film. Ishiguro's work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. In 1995, he received an Order of the British Empire for service to literature, and in 1998 was named a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. He lives in London with his wife and daughter.
From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination.
Born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own, painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition-and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him.
Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.

评分 评分这是一本让人不知道说什么好的小说,尤其是作为一个中国上海的读者来看它。 就可读性来说,这本故事真的没什么意思。一个非常故弄玄虚的案件,一场浩大却又明显想象失实的时代风波,几个描写很虚浮不太给人魅力感的人物。就是这样。 串联起整个故事的是主人公父母的离奇失踪...
评分正值考研失败,感受着努力未曾得到回报的痛苦。连着去了四天的校招,越来越迷茫、越来越不甘。我和别人说,不用担心,我有给自己做好心理建设,考研失败了嘛就找工作啊,又不是只有一条路。我可以找个普通工作,朝九晚五,给自己做饭、整理屋子、读读书、周末和朋友逛街小聚、...
