Ishiguro is a master of the subtle first-person narrator. This is a haunting, almost menacing story that I didn't expect from Ishiguro. Psychologically rich, yet understated, this is a book that stays with you long after you're done. Loved it.
Not a favorite Ishiguro novel; the juxtaposition of Japanese and British cultures after the war is very skillfully and credibly told. But the characters were less well developed than in his other novels, I thought - there was less of a depth to them so that you did not feel as if you were privy to their inner and immediate feelings and thoughts.
