The Romans have long since departed, and Britain is steadily declining into ruin. But at least the
wars that once ravaged the country have ceased. The Buried Giant begins as a couple, Axl and
Beatrice, set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not
seen for years.
They expect to face many hazards — some strange and other-worldly — but they cannot yet foresee how
their journey will reveal to them dark and forgotten corners of their love for one another.
This week's book is The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro and we'll be meeting at Ye Olde Cocke on Wilmslow Road in Didsbury — contact us for details.
