Many of you would have seen, read or heard about the books and films by Kazuo Ishiguro. Do 'The Remains of the Day' or 'Never Let Me Go' ring any bells?
I hadn't actually read any of his books or seen either film until last week. I decided to read 'The Remains of the Day' for a local book club meeting organised by the Oxfam book shop on our nearby high street. I'm glad I decided to read it, as it is beautifully written, in a poetic sort of way, and it depicts the English countryside wonderfully. Although the book is essentially about the Second World War, it is rich in tis story and the plot unfolds in a way that keeps the reader intrigued.
