A review by winterbee
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro

emotional mysterious reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes

I understand the whole story as a metaphor about love and loss. It‘s a strange mix of fantasy and myth with a lot of foreshadowing. I liked it but I also think you have to be in the right mood to read it because it‘s altogether quite melancholic.
