The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro
3.0

Finally.

l think this is the 4th time l have attempted to read this, giving up purely because l didn't have the ability to solely focus on it - life got in the way.

l can't help but feel the author was glad to be rid of this, and it shows; a vague stench in the pages...
