Winner of the Booker prize, written by a Nobel prize winning writer, adapted by James Ivory into a prize winning film starring Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant, this study of British class character and history feels like a distillation of everything covered by the term British classic. Made even more interesting by being written by Japanese born author Kazuo Ishiguro. Regardless of subject matter one of the best character studies I’ve ever read.
