  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Exquisite from the setting to the word choice to the narrative voice to the introspection about childhood to the lost futures at the core. Ishiguro can truly do no wrong. This, the fourth book of his that I have read, has decidedly cemented him as one of my absolute favorite authors. 

Another reviewer writes that “Kath was way too passive.” Funny how that works. I wonder if we could find some clues in this story as to why that might be the case. Guess we’ll never know!
