Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall Book

Nocturnes is a beautifully observed collection of five interconnected stories in which Kazuo Ishiguro explores themes of love, music and the passage of time. Set against evocative backdrops ranging from sunlit Italian piazzas to the discreet luxury of a Hollywood hotel, the stories introduce a cast of dreamers, musicians and fading celebrities, each facing a defining moment in their lives.

• Gentle, intimate and quietly humorous, these stories are united by a poignant theme: the desire to hold on to life's romance as youth fades, relationships change and long-held ambitions slip out of reach.
• Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain as a child. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Booker Prize, he was knighted in 2018 for Services to Literature.
