Kazuo Ishiguro – A Pale View of Hills – SIGNED First Edition 1982
£3,000.00
A first edition, first printing published by Faber in 1982. A fine book SIGNED without dedication on the title page – no inscriptions. In a fine unclipped, lightly spine faded dust wrapper. A touch rubbed to the corners.
A Pale View of Hills* (1982) is the debut novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. The story centres on Etsuko, a Japanese widow living in England, reflecting on her past in post-World War II Nagasaki. The novel alternates between Etsuko’s present life and memories of her friendship with Sachiko, a troubled woman determined to leave Japan for a new life in America. As Etsuko recalls these events, underlying themes of loss, guilt, and the aftermath of trauma emerge. The narrative is subtle and ambiguous, leaving readers to piece together the deeper emotional truths hidden in Etsuko’s recollections.
