The story “A Family Supper” by Kazuo Ishiguro tells about what can happen during a typical family dinner. It can affect the fate of people who spend time together, talking and discussing ordinary, everyday things.
The main character returns to Japan, his mother died of fugu poisoning. His father and sister are expecting him for a family dinner. After, the father feeds the children fish, then serves himself.
Nothing hints at the seriousness of what is happening, but the conversations of the characters gradually become more personal and frank. The problems that the heroes kept to themselves for a long time, but which they are no longer able to hide from loved ones, become known.
