One of the Nobel Prize-winner Kazuo Ishiguro's most acclaimed novels, Never Let Me Go is a moving, suspenseful, beautifully atmospheric coming-of-age story with an extraordinary twist. Kathy, Ruth and Tommy attended an exclusive boarding-school in the English countryside. Idyllic in some ways yet vaguely sinister, Hailsham was a place of intense friendships, mysterious rules, and 'guardians' who constantly reminded the students how special they were. As a young woman, Kathy looks back on their shared past and tells how she and the others gradually came to understand the shocking reason for the careful nurturing they have received. Narrated with deceptive simplicity, Never Let Me Go is a deeply affecting meditation on friendship, love and mortality.
