When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro - Book Discussion

This month's book is When We Were Orphans, a novel that Ishiguro himself described as "Not my best book". High praise! Let me know if you think this book deserves a critical reappraisal, or if it belongs squarely in the B-Tier of Ishiguro's bibliography.
