I loved this collection. Ishiguro writes so well about music and what it can mean to the performer and the listener. Now I can’t stop listening to Ray Charles singing ‘Come Rain or Come Shine’.

Though the stories vary in quality, the first two in the collection are masterpieces of melancholy prose that I would suggest anyone to read, while the final three are good, although they leave much less of an impression.
