Klara and the Sun

Clara is brand new. With contagious curiosity, from the broad window of the storefront, she absorbs the world around her—random passersby, driving cars, and, of course, the life-giving Sun. Clara wants to learn and remember as much as possible—so she can become the best Artificial Friend for her future teenager. It will depend on who chooses Clara what her fate will be.

A pure, somewhat naive view of reality that is only slightly different from our own—that is what Kazuo Ishiguro’s new novel offers you. What is it like to love? And can you be human if you’re not quite human? Told with disarming sincerity, this story will make you answer these questions anew.
