A unique collaborative publication which documents the lyrics written by Nobel Prize winning author Kazuo Ishiguro for the platinum selling, Grammy nominated, Jazz singer Stacey Kent.

The Summer We crossed Europe in the Rain collects the sixteen song lyrics written to date by Kazuo Ishiguro for the renowned American jazz singer, Stacey Kent, and which have been set to music by composer/bandleader Jim Tomlinson. As the Nobel Prize-winning author explains in his introduction, he has been steadfastly following his remit, that 'however sad, however bleak the song became, there had to remain an element of hope'. The resulting lyrics are infused with yearning and the bittersweet romance of travel.

This volume has been gorgeously illustrated by acclaimed Italian comics artist Bianca Bagnarelli, who captures perfectly the varying moods, as well as the 'stories', contained in these songs.

 

Review

Ishiguro, who has been writing songs since he was fifteen, gives insights into how songwriting helped his fiction. He has penned beautiful compositions for Kent since 2006 and one of the treats of this book is reading his lyrics aloud. The compositions are like poems or short story vignettes. - Independent

With illustrations by New Yorker cartoonist Bianca Bagnarelli, this exquisite collection of love songs penned by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro for the Grammy-nominated jazz singer Stacey Kent is both a testament to Ishiguro's emotively pared-down style and the eternal pull of romance. - Red Mag

Beautifully illustrated by Bianca Bagnarelli, these lyrics remind us of some of Ishiguro's characteristic themes - memory, love, travel, music's haunting qualities - and are full of yearning, melancholy and the romance of travel. - Irish Times

Beautifully illustrated [and] absorbing ... a uniquely three-dimensional sensory experience. - BBC Music Magazine
