Summary

From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination.

Boriearly-twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more thatwenty years later, he is a celebrated figure iLondosociety; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory ihopes of solving the mystery of his own, painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition-and that his owrecollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him.

Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, WheWe Were Orphans offers a profound meditatioothe shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.
