Ryder, a musician of international renown, is checking in to a hotel in a city somewhere in Central Europe^ He has the distinct recollection he is due to perform in the Civic Concert Hall in a few days time, but as Gustav, the hotel porter, escorts him to his room- if occurs to him there is much more to this visit than he had at first anticipated

'Completely original I've never read a book like it. I think it's a masterpiece.' John Carey, The Late'Show
'All the poignant, detailed sympathy that Kazuo Ishiguro brought to a fading England in The Remains of the Day is here in glorious abundance, but in the service of something altogether richer and stranger, an immense canvas dotted with a memorable cast of tiny citizens adrift in the slow indifference of their lives. By turns funny and frightening, serious and saddening. The Uneonsoled walks a straight path through bewitched territory where the human and the otherworldly merge in a remarkably original fiction.'
