almost 4 years ago@unknown-user is that an offer?!! It's part of a series, I'm writing Book 2 at the moment, and I think it would adapt well to TV serialisation. It's got multiple strands: history, family drama, character arcs etc which I think would keep viewers engaged.

almost 4 years agoI just finished it and enjoyed it but found it quite flat. I decided to read ‘Remains of the Day’ which for some reason I’ve never got to and it’s an absolute masterpiece. The tone and voice is very similar to ‘Klara’ and Ishiguro has said he fears he keeps on writing the same book, this definitely supports his fear. I also absolutely love ‘Artist of the Floating World’ which seems to be underrated.
