i LOVE this book. ishiguro’s writing style is eloquent and kept me reading more and more. the dreamt, nostalgic tone and idyllic settings contrasted with the gloomy reality of the characters’ situations is brilliant, and it leaves the reader with many thought provoking questions about those who are used for the luxury of other wealthier people.
