Every Kazuo Ishiguro novel is an event in world literature. His books have been translated into more than forty languages. The print runs of “The Remains of the Day” and “Never Let Me Go” exceeded a million copies.
“Never Let Me Go”—this novel is unusual, spellbinding.
The author takes us to medieval England, when the Britons fought the Saxons, and the land was shrouded in fog that made you forget the last hour you’d lived as quickly as the morning you’d lived many years ago.
An elderly couple, Axel and Beatrice, leave their village and set off on a journey full of dangers—they want to find their son they haven’t seen for many years.
Ishiguro tells a story about memory and oblivion, revenge and war, love and forgiveness.
But above all, it’s about people—how, in the end, we are all, more or less, alone.
