The Buried Giant

The story is set in a mythical post-Arthurian Britain, where a mysterious mist causes people to forget their past.

It follows an elderly couple, Axl and Beatrice, as they journey to find their lost son — encountering knights, ogres, and dragons along the way.

Though it uses fantasy elements, the novel explores deep themes like memory, trauma, love, war, and forgiveness in a highly literary style.
