Title: Never Let Me Go

Author(s) / Editor(s): Kazuo Ishiguro

Call Number: F. J/ISH/11232

Publisher: Faber and Faber

Never Let Me Go is a story of love, friendship and memory. Written by the winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature, this story depicted the lives of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewed version of contemporary England. In the Hailsham School, students are well tended and supported but they know nothing about the world outside. Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends leave the safe grounds of the school that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.

Breaking the boundaries of literary novel, Never Let Me Go is a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. Mr. Ishiguro’s writing style is always simple, but he builds up many layers within his storytelling to unleash the full symphony of conflicted feelings in powerful bursts. More than a science fiction, this book raises question about what it means to be human. I encourage you to take a look at it, and you may have some new inspirations about your own life.
