I love this video! Thank you so much. I read The Remains of the Day in June and instantly thought “ok, now I need to read all of Ishiguro’s work”. I literally just finished A Pale View of Hills and think I’m going to start rereading it today. I love how he writes and throws those twists in towards the end that make you completely rethink what you’ve been reading.

Welcome to the rereading journey!! Yes I completely agree, it's why I've enjoyed going through them again so much, seeing the buildup and thinking 'how could I not have seen this!?' or 'woah this is completely different now I know that what the heck'. Thanks for watching!

Fantastic- one of my favourite authors- been reading his novels since 1986.
If you like Ishiguro then I highly recommend Ian McEwan and Angela Carter

[@johannaquinones7473]

Yesssss!!! McEwan!!! Love, love. Will have to check Carter, thanks!

Nice discussion 🌟 Happy to see my rug wasn't the only one being pulled away lol

[@greggers5988]

thank you for your commentary !! when i was reading this book, i found myself always irritated at sachiko's behavior and especially how she'd act with etsuko, but i never once thought what it could mean about etsuko's life and how she ended up the way she is. thank you for opening that up !!

Thank you for watching and I'm so glad to hear that you got something out of this video!!

Such a great video! I've just finished the book and it was very hard to process so I decided to look for different takes on the novel. I really like this book club idea as well, although I'm very late to join the parry, but I still might follow up all of Ishiguro's books with your content 😊

[@eddiecational]

Thank you so much for your comment! Never too late to join the book club - I hope you enjoy reading Ishiguro and please do update me as you go through :D

[@alexcrowley2635]

I’m just joining everyone too! I read Klara and the Sun and now going back Ishiguro’s 1st book and reading in chronological order, I just finished Plain View from Hills

[@phylipitaglioni1970]

I probably won't read it. But yeah it is refreshing to hear your thoughts
