Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro (4.0)
Similar to ‘Klara and the Sun’, this earlier Ishiguro novel explores the existence and feelings of something outside our current world. Set mostly in what appears to be an upper-class boarding school in rural England, we follow the three main characters into adulthood. There are clues to what makes them unique seeded throughout the story and their quest to understand more becomes the plot. As with his later book, Ishiguro takes an ethical choice based on new technology and examines its effect on society, but even more so on individuals. The movie of the same name is also compelling. Both are best seen and read without knowing more about the main conceit.
