You really should've known Ishiguro is worth more than that, though. Legolas Send a noteboard - 07/04/2011 08:02:10 PM
I found out I am not the only one reacting that way to the combination of that cover and that title (and probably not helped by that description). A friend said he had avoided it because he thought it looked like the type of book read by fifty-yearold women who drink frothy milk that has once stood next to an espresso.

But yes, without knowing the writer, it looks like just another unoriginal emotional story with a dubious view of relationships based on the cover and title.
