I enjoyed The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro which is set in early Middle Ages Briton after King Arthur's reign. An elderly Briton couple Beatrice and Axl decide to visit their son in a village about two days walk from their home. There is an element of "fantasy" as the couple and others have no memory. A dragon produces a mist which robs them of their memories. Even their memories of love, and the battles with the Saxons are gone. Beatrice and Axl meet people on their journey who come from a haunted past, one a Saxon warrior who fought against the Britons and another who fought alongside King Arthur. It's a great story. 4/5Tuesday, November 17, 2015
