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
