When We Were Orphans By Ishiguro, Kazuo. [Paperback] by Kazuo Ishiguro
A celebrated English detective haunted by the unresolved disappearance of his parents in childhood constructs a methodical but fragile account of the past, then returns to Shanghai to retrace events and vindicate his self-image; as he pursues answers amid rising political tensions, the novel probes how memory, identity and the demands of reputation can both reveal and distort truth, blending mystery with a quietly unsettling meditation on loss and the fading world of imperial Shanghai.
