Written in 1989, developed into a film in 1993 (7.8 IMDb) #dayum
Kazuo Ishiguro aka The Nobel Prize in Literature 2017
Best to: beautiful composition with eloquently sophisticated narration; a good juxtaposition of an affable main character's reminiscence of self 'dignity' and 'loyalty' to one's master - worthy of being a required reading for a literature class
Best for: Lords and ladies of Darlington Hall, Oxfordshire; I feel very posh and of great stature and esteem in reading this award winning piece #muchobliged
Best as: Kazuo Ishiguro is a splendid author in conversing feelings of sympathy and empathy to his story; a rare find indeed
Best passage: "What is the point in worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one's life took?"
"One can't be forever dwelling on what might have been. One should realize one has as good as most, perhaps better, and be grateful."
“And at least he had the privilege of being able to say at the end of his life that he made his own mistakes.”
