Besprechung

Masterly... A novel with piercing questions about humanity and humaneness. Sunday Times

Kurztext / Annotation

A SUNDAY TIMES TOP 100 NOVEL OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY


Langtext


*Kazuo Ishiguro's new novel Klara and the Sun is now available*

Shortlisted for the 2005 Booker Prize

Kazuo Ishiguro imagines the lives of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewed version of contemporary England. Narrated by Kathy, now thirty-one, Never Let Me Go dramatises her attempts to come to terms with her childhood at the seemingly idyllic Hailsham School and with the fate that has always awaited her and her closest friends in the wider world. A story of love, friendship and memory, Never Let Me Go is charged throughout with a sense of the fragility of life.

'Exquisite.' Guardian
'A feat of imaginative sympathy.' New York Times

'I loved it, every single word of it.'

'It took me wholly by surprise.'

'Utterly beautiful.'
