NEW YORK (AP) — Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro’s next novel is set in a time and place familiar to fans of his classic “The Remains of the Day”: England in the 1930s.

Alfred A. Knopf announced Tuesday that “Miss Lambert Steps Aboard Danger” will be published March 9. The novel is built around an encounter between the mysterious title character and a music hall aficionado in London in 1938, the year before World War II. Knopf Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Jordan Pavlin describes the book as a blend of spy fiction and the kind of wit P.G. Wodehouse was known for.
