Praise For This Book


ONE OF THE ATLANTIC'S 15 BOOKS YOU WON'T REGRET RE-READING

"A page turner and a heartbreaker, a tour de force of knotted tension and buried anguish." ...-Time

"A Gothic tour de force... A tight, deftly controlled story ... Just as accomplished [as The Remains of the Day] and, in a very different way, just as melancholy and alarming." ...-The New York Times

"Elegaic, deceptively lovely... As always, Ishiguro pulls you under." ...-Newsweek

"Superbly unsettling, impeccably controlled ... The book's irresistible power comes from Ishiguro's matchless ability to expose its dark heart in careful increments." ...-Entertainment Weekly
