Dit boek reist morgen met mij mee naar Groningen om daar in 't Feith-huis aan Violoncellix overhandigd te worden.
Veel plezier ermee, Violoncellix!

Ishiguro writes beautifully. Looking forward to this novel. Thank you, janna2!
Later note: it turns out that I've read this novel before, but it was great to re-read it.
Quote:
For the first time, the young man stopped bowing and looked up at me nervously. Then he said: 'I will be grateful to you for the remainder of my life. I will exert every particle of my being to be worthy of your recommendation. I assure you, I will not let you down. I will work hard, and strive to satisfy my superiors. And however much I may be promoted in the future, I will never forget the man who enabled me to start on my career.
