Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; 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 in hopes of solving the mystery of his own painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition—and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMasterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, \u003ci\u003eWhen We Were Orphans\u003c\/i\u003e offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eKAZUO ISHIGURO was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain at the age of five.
