The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain: Lyrics for Stacey Kent by Kazuo IshiguroMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Song lyrics are tricky because they’re not quite poetry and they’re not quite prose, but Ishiguro’s lyrical writing paired with lush illustrations by Bianca Bagnarelli make “The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain” as musical an experience a book can provide. It is a collection full of beautiful, stirring moments. Even in the spots where the lyrics and pictures alone can’t fully convey the emotion of a song, the book is still quite good.
