Book Group: When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro

Thursday 17th April, 7:15pm, £7

Our monthly book group welcomes anyone passionate about literature and who enjoys engaging in discussions about its themes with others who share their enthusiasm.

Nobel Prize Winner Kazuo Ishiguro set When We Were Orphans in 1930’s England and Shanghai against the backdrop of the Sino-Japanese War. Christopher Banks, a celebrated detective whose cases are the talk of London society, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his parents when he was a small boy. A remarkable story of memory, intrigue and the need to return. ‘It haunts the mind, it moves to tears.’ Sunday Times.

This discussion will be led by Caroline Hammond.
