STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Similar in feel to Atonement and the works of Kate Atkinson. Emilia Fox elevates this powerful book to perfection.
THE BIRDICT
💜 This is the only Kazuo Ishiguro book I have liked, but it is also one of the most beautiful stories I've ever heard. It has a sense of a misty landscape that slowly clears. It's wistful in tone, as I believe the children would be. Kathy is an excellent main character. You sense there is something amiss in how she thinks, something just slightly off, but Ishiguro manages to reveal it slowly.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
🎧 I've always loved Emilia Fox's acting and she is the perfect choice as Kathy. She shifts as Kathy does, subtly changing between the arrogance of youth and a more mature confidence.

I felt such a sense of betrayal for these children and was heartbroken as each one undertook what they saw as their purpose. It was such an inventive twist and beautifully executed.
