5.0

Just incredible: ingenious setting and premise; fascinating characters; plot development is unexpected but still feels perfectly natural. Typical Ishiguro, there are some staggering plot twists that accelerate the pace towards a beautiful yet brutally sad and haunting ending. Simply an unforgettable story about living in a fog of forgotten memory, identity, and life purpose - and the heartbreaking consequences of lifting that fog.
