There's a couple more Ishiguro on the lsit.<BR/><BR/>debi - thanks, it was quiet, but powerful. I only thought it was cheating, because he is so very British. To have written <I>Remains of the Day</I> shows he is def. from England. This one was set in Japan mostly though. <BR/>I don't think it matters, he was born in Japan, and you should read that book for sure!raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-65055532649704718232008-09-25T08:15:00.000-04:002008-09-25T08:15:00.000-04:00What a lovely review!

I have Never Let Me Go on my Japanese Lit list...didn't realize I was sort of cheating there.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-2322653367468642842008-09-25T08:04:00.000-04:002008-09-25T08:04:00.000-04:00I love Ishiguro, so I will have to read this one, ...I love Ishiguro, so I will have to read this one, thanks for the review.
