Kazuo Ishiguro's debut novel, A Pale View of Hills, delves into the complex nature of memory and its reliability. The story follows Etsuko, a middle-aged Japanese woman living in England, as she reflects on her life in Nagasaki during the aftermath of World War II. Her recollections intertwine with the tragic suicide of her daughter, Keiko, prompting a fragmented and often unsettling journey through her past. Ishiguro masterfully uses unreliable narration to explore themes of guilt, trauma, cultural displacement, and the lingering shadows of history, creating a haunting and thought-provoking narrative about the human psyche.
