I read Never Let Me Go because I knew I would love another Ishiguro and I was not disappointed.
I have now read a literary fiction, a fantasy and a scifi from this author and every single one of them has been amazing. How is it possible for an author to seamlessly write so well across genres? It blows my mind.
If you haven’t read any Ishiguro, I’d still start with Remains of the Day but if you like scifi, this is your book.
It’s sad, beautiful and just exquisite writing.
I’ve wanted to read Remains of the Day since the movie came out (I haven’t seen it). What struck me was how many movie people raved about the book.
Now that you’ve told me about the variety of genres, I’m really curious! I’ll add Ishiguro to my list!
I “read” this one as an audio book and found it to be gut-wrenching, but good, if both can be said to be true of one book. Sometimes books with sad elements can be even more emotional to experience in audio format. I remember reading The Time Traveler’s Wife and then later listening to the audio — really intense.
