--The Baltimore Sun
"Goes much further than even The Remains of the Day in its
examination of the roles we've had handed to us... His fullest
achievement yet."
--The New York Times Book Review
"You seldom read a novel that so convinces you it is extending the
possibilities of fiction."
--Sunday Times (London)
"Poignant... When We Were Orphans may well be Ishiguro's most
capacious book so far."
--Pico Iyer, The New York Review of Books
"[A]n imaginative work of surpassing intelligence and taste."

like a classic adventure story with an ineffable tinge of
strangeness."
