I have to disagree with you on Klara and the Sun. I do tend to think it lacks a bit of originality at some points, but I found it to be such an excellently executed novel that was just as heart-wrenching and thought-provoking as his others.
Unless a reader only has enough time or interest (the idea of this baffles me) to read one or two of Ishiguro’s works, I don’t think it’s worth missing Klara and the Sun.
It’s almost universally agreed that When We Were Orphans was a bit of a misfire by Ishiguro though!
