Sunday Times
Praise for Kazuo Ishiguro

‘This is a novel for fans of Never Let Me Go, with which it shares a DNA of emotional openness, the quality of letting us see ourselves from the outside, and a vision of humanity which – while not exactly optimistic – is tender, touching and true.’

The Times
Praise for Kazuo Ishiguro
