Review title: Delicate lines
Product review: An early work by the award-winning author of Remains of the Day, it defies Ishiguro's British citizenship and has a most distinctly Japanese air to it, taking place largely in Japan after the bombing of Nagasaki. Much of the tale is Etsuko's first-person flashbacks of those times. This is not an action story, but a delicately written character study, etched with Japanese precision and with clear lines, but no unnecessary elaboration. Ishiguro says it clearly and sharply, but kindly lets the reader make connections. The way he presents Japanese social propriety, but allows the underlying mood and intent to show brings the reader fully into the story and characters. Terrific writing and worth the read.
