The extraordinary new novel from the author of Never Let Me Go and the Man Booker Prize winning The Remains of the Day. The Buried Giant begins as a couple, Axl and Beatrice, set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in hope of finding a son they haven't seen for years. They expect to face many hazards, some strange and other-worldly - but they cannot yet foresee how their journey will reveal to them dark and forgotten corners of their love for one another.
