Nocturnes - Cinq Nouvelles de Musique Au Crepuscule, Paperback Book, By: Kazuo Ishiguro

From Italian piazzas to the Malvern Hills, from a London apartment to the hushed floor of a select Hollywood hotel, this sublime cycle of short stories explores love, music and the passage of time. The characters depicted are street musicians, fallen stars and dreamers, each in an intimate quest, each in a moment of truth. Like the rhythm of the music it evokes. Imbued with haunting themes, the quintet resonates with spiritual and eternal questions: the human conduit to move away from disenchantment. and to preserve intact the charm of life. even when relationships get bogged down and the hopes of Jeunesse are blunted.
