Remembering the past, remembering the regrets and hoping for a bright content future.
Classic Ishiguro here, with an old man as the protagonist, perfectly capturing the Japanese sentiment.
He revisits and reviews his life as he gets old, old enough to have others around him die, and slowly sees his mistakes of being too nationalistic, though that was the norm, and for his daughter's sake he acknowledges the mistakes.
Slow and elegant and all you expect from Ishiguro.
