Book Log 2017 #16: When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro
A young man, who has grown up from being orphaned in Shanghai to become a celebrated detective in the UK, faces the one case he hasn't been able to solve: the disappearances of both his parents, weeks apart. He returns to Shanghai - currently in the throes of the second Sino-Japanese War - in order to learn the truth.
It's not a bad story, but it never quite came together for me, and at times felt quite generic. I wouldn't seek it out, but there are worse things you could read.
