Article Grading: I agree that the speculation offered on the page, that Sachiko-san is the narrator, should not be stated as fact. There are, I think, several possible realities at play in the book, all speculations (which Ishiguro clearly encourages) should be placed in their own section.

Could this article be edited to be more objective? Also, granted the author left a lot of things unsaid, to be inferred by the reader, but where was it hinted that Jiro died "in a war"? What war?
[edit] Speculation?
Many of the facts stated in the summary here sound like things that were brought up in a discussion in an English class. None of the reasons why Keiko commited suicide were brought up in the book. In fact, there really was not much brought up in the book at all. I'm sure that what is written isn't wrong, but that is more insight on the part of a particular reader than part of the plot. Also, at the end of the summary it is stated that Etsuko projected her life through her making up Mariko and Sachiko. I did not find any evidence in the book, though I did not read very carefully. If I am correct and this is total speculation as well, this should be removed, or placed in a section in which such insight would be appropriate.
