timsedov 's review for:

When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro
4.0

At first, it's an enigmatic traversal of the main charachter's past. Then, it is a childish fantasy-like view on the pursuit of these memories with the war only on the skirt as something of a backrgound. At the end, there is stumbling upon the hard adult reality and its often belligerent, gloomy nature. The final is sadly sweet. Somehow, I could put up with such mood changing only through the last pages.
