There are quite a few ringbooks waiting to be read, you have a birthday to not be late for, so I do not dare risk reading this book before sending it out. What I will do, is add a review here later: I still intend to read it (from the library probably).

Read this last month when I was travelling...this was my first Ishiguro, and enjoyable enough, though not something that really gripped me. Hope my birthday buddy, who I requested this for, finds it a good read!

Oh, what a lot of effort has gone into getting this to me in time for my birthday! Thankyou both of you.
I loved Never Let Me Go when I read it, Ishiguro has such a delicate touch with language, so I am looking forward to this. I'll get to this asap and send it back to you Boekentrol so you can read it at last :)
