The novel is set in Shanghai surrounded by Japanese troops in 1937. At that time, the whole world was in turmoil and the Second World War was imminent. British teenager banks lived with his parents in the Shanghai concession and returned to Britain because of his parents bizarre disappearance. Many years later, banks has become a famous detective in British upper class society, but there has always been a mystery about the whereabouts of his parents in his heart. In order to solve this knot, he returned to Shanghai and investigated in todays war and yesterdays memories to explore the truth of his parents disappearance.
Ishiguro depicts the carefree life in the British concession in Shanghai during the wartime with exquisite strokes. It also reflects the hypocritical image of the British colonists who left themselves out of the world and ignored the miserable life of the Chinese people. It also describes the cruel hegemony of the Japanese military state truly and objectively.
