Summary
Kazuo Ishiguro: When We Were Orphans
Christopher Banks, the most famous detective in England, with a respectable collection of successfully solved cases, will travel from London to Shanghai to finally solve the "case of a lifetime" - the mysterious disappearance of his parents when he was still a boy. The plot, which takes place on the London-Shanghai route, will be a counterpoint to two separate structures: a happy childhood spent with parents in that Chinese metropolis, on the one hand, and, on the other, adulthood in the years when the world is moving towards one of its greatest disasters - the Second World War.
