The Literary Odyssey Book Group

The Literary Odyssey will be reading The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro for the month of August.

The Romans have long since departed, and Britain is steadily declining into ruin. But at least the wars that once ravaged the country have ceased. The Buried Giant begins as a couple, Axl and Beatrice, set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen for years. They expect to face many hazards – some strange and other-worldly – but they cannot yet foresee how their journey will reveal to them dark and forgotten corners of their love for one another. Sometimes savage, often intensely moving, The Buried Giant is about lost memories, love, revenge and war.
