The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain -Songs for Stacey Kent

In this collection, Nobel Prize–winning author Kazuo Ishiguro gathers the lyrics he wrote for jazz singer Stacey Kent. The songs tell intimate, cinematic stories of love, memory, travel, and quiet longing, often set against European landscapes and fleeting summer moments. Written with Ishiguro’s characteristic subtlety and emotional restraint, these lyrics read like small narrative poems that capture the atmosphere and storytelling of the songs they accompany.
