The Buried Giant

Long after the death of King Arthur, an elderly Briton couple, Axl and Beatrice, leave their village to visit their son. A strange mist has settled over the land, making people forget their pasts, even recent griefs. On their journey they meet a Saxon warrior, a boy with a wound, and an aging knight, and encounter ogres, a dragon and old quarrels between peoples. The book is a fable about memory, love and the forgetting that may keep peace, and whether remembering is worth its cost.
