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." –
