## Description

When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro - Paperback : Ishiguro, Kazuo: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: Forse il più sentito e difficile libro di Ishiguro. Va letto lentamente, assaporando ogni frase. Sembra quasi un thriller ma in realtà è una storia di rivisitazione dell'infanzia e uno spaccato di vita nella Cina pre maoista. Bellissimo!
Review: Chegou em depressa e tudo em ordem, bem embalado

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***Y on 21 December 2011*

I actually brought and read this book for a course I take and Uni, not as a pleasure read. That said, I really enjoyed reading it in preparation for my class, I found the novel engaging, interesting, and different in a very quirky way. However, it was only after going through the book in class that I really understood and appreciated just how intricate the novel really is. I found it a very good read, but getting the best out of it required some effort. There's a lot of very brilliant aspects to the book I only noticed or digested after it had been pointed out me, had I not had a class on it, they might very well have eluded me.
