Ishiguro further proceeds to ask, if the attempted cancellation of difficult memories does not produce lasting peace, what then does? The novel encourages the reader to consider the idea that the redemption of memories based on the practice of the Christian faith provides the best hope for lasting peace. ![]() Ishiguro uses this setting to consider the question of whether the temporary elimination of painful memories, whether national or personal, is sufficient to repair a relationship. It is classified as a fantasy novel, but rather than a world that is purely imaginative, Ishiguro sets his story in a world that takes the early medieval accounts of Dark Ages Britain at face value.
