Review of '克拉拉与太阳' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
There is nothing wrong with this book. It has an interesting premise, is well written and I enjoyed it. The problem is that it is Ishiguro and so my expectations were high. This is not the beautiful writing he is capable of, nor does it have the insights into the human condition I've come to expect.
If you are an Ishiguro fan you have a dilemma; this is part of his oeuvre but it isn't all that good. Still, worth reading.
