"Never Let Me Go" is a poignant book that rightly belongs to the list of the 100 best English novels of all time, according to Time magazine. Its author was born Japanese, a graduate of Malcolm Bradbury’s literary seminar, and a Booker Prize winner (for the novel "The Remains of the Day").
Thirty-year-old Kathy looks back on her childhood at the privileged Hailsham school, full of strange omissions, half-truths, and an underlying threat.
This is a parable-novel. It is a story of love, friendship, and memory. It is the ultimate embodiment of the metaphor "to live as one’s life".
