Never Let Me Go
Overview & Summary
Kathy H. looks back on her childhood at Hailsham, an idyllic English boarding school, and her close friendships with classmates Ruth and Tommy, slowly revealing the horrifying truth of what Hailsham's students were actually being raised for. Kazuo Ishiguro's quietly devastating novel uses a dystopian premise to explore memory, love, and mortality with the restrained, elegiac prose that won him the Nobel Prize in Literature.
