My second Ishiguro book. Immediately, I'm amazed at how different the writing is. He really nailed the voice of the butler--completely different from the voice of Kathy in Never Let Me Go. Everything in this book is subtle in a brilliant way. Subtly devastating. There is something so sad about the way Stevens could not figure out social cues--especially in those parts where he was agonizing about "wit" and "banter." Not what I expected at all, but gives me much to think about.
Read it again, listening to the audiobook this time. Still great, still devastating.
