Just got around to reading the book that received the man Booker Prize of 2005, by the acclaimed author, Kazuo Ishiguro. His 'Remains of the Day' - both book and movie of a few years ago, was widely popular. I loved Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins in the movie.
When the penny drops as to what he's talking about, there then surfaces all kinds of ethical, theological and moral queries and dilemmas. Perhaps a movie of the same would immerse one sooner into the imporant debates involved. This would be a great book for small-group read, followed by discussion but, again - its initial promise might not keep everyone enthralled until the salient and salty points emerge. I'm glad I stuck with it, though; it's worth the read.
Margaret Atwood writes of it - "A brilliantly executed book by a master craftsman who has chosen a difficult subject: ourselves, seen through a glass, darkly."
