It is 1948. Japan is rebuilding her cities after the calamity of World War Two, her people putting defeat behind them and looking to the future. The celebrated artist, Masuji Ono, fills his days attending to his garden, his house repairs, his two grown daughters and his grandson; his evenings drinking with old associates in quiet lantern-lit bars.

Kazuo Ishiguro (Nagasaki, Xapón, 8 de novembro de 1954) naceu no Xapón pero con apenas seis anos trasladouse a Londres onde segue a vivir na actualidade. As súas novelas caracterízanse por unha psicoloxía da angustia e o recordo do pasado, con escasos personaxes e un fío argumental débil, moi ao modo oriental. Tras publicar varios relatos e artigos en revistas, publicou a súa primeira novela en 1982, A Pale View of the Hills, pola que gañou o premio Winifred Holtby. A seguinte novela, An Artist of the Floating World (1986), valeulle o premio Whitbread de Literatura. The Remains of the Day (1989), levada ao cine por James Ivory, consagrouno definitivamente e por ela recibiu o Booker Prize 1989.
