Ishiguro could write a shopping list and I’d rate it 5 stars, he really is a master of the craft. The subtlety, the careful word choice, the delicate tackling of big and relevant topics - this is Ishiguro at his best.

I always think something’s going to happen in these books and I’m always disappointed. So ominous, and nothing.
