From one of the great storytellers of our time, an exquisite period piece—a disarming and memorable caper, in which not everything is quite as it seems
At first, I took you for a charming jewel thief.
London, 1938. After attending a music hall matinee, Richard Hadley has an unexpected encounter with the mysterious Miss Lambert. Determined to defend her from the apparently hostile forces closing in, he pursues her to a grand hotel deep in the English countryside, then onto a train bound for Scotland. From one of the great storytellers of our time, Miss Lambert Steps Aboard Danger is an exquisite entertainment in which nothing is quite as it seems.
KAZUO ISHIGURO was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain at the age of five. His works of fiction have earned him many honours around the world, including the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Booker Prize. His books have been translated into over fifty languages and The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go were both made into acclaimed films. He received a knighthood in 2018 for Services to Literature. He also holds the decorations of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres from France and the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star from Japan. His most recent novel, Klara and the Sun was a number one Sunday Times bestseller in both hardback and paperback. Ishiguro also works occasionally as a screenwriter. His screenplay for the 2022 film Living received Academy Award (Oscar) and BAFTA nominations.
