The Buried Giant

Ishiguro was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2017. I think he deserved it, particularly for his book Never let me go. The Buried Giant received mixed reviews on Amazon but then so did Never let me go.  I decided to give it a chance. It’s about an old couple who have problems with their memory.  The other people in their village also do that’s why they call it a mist.  They go out on a journey to meet the son that they barely remember. Gawain, a person that they meet along the way, slays a dragon called Querig.  With it killed they are able to get their memories back.  The ending is kind of mysterious. I guess it's up to the reader to guess what finally happens.  3/5
