Synopsis
The top ten bestseller from the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize
In one of the most acclaimed novels of recent years, Kazuo Ishiguro imagines the lives of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewed version of contemporary England. Narrated by Kathy, now thirty-one, Never Let Me Go dramatises her attempts to come to terms with her childhood at the seemingly idyllic Hailsham School and with the fate that has always awaited her and her closest friends in the wider world. A story of love, friendship and memory, Never Let Me Go is charged throughout with a sense of the fragility of life.

Review
Masterly... A novel with piercing questions about humanity and humaneness., Sunday Times
A brilliantly executed book by a master craftsman who has chosen a difficult subject: ourselves, seen through a glass, darkly. -- Margaret Atwood, Slate.com
A page-turner and a heartbreaker, a tour de force of knotted tension and buried anguish., Time
A master stoyteller ... In this deceptively sad novel, he simply uses a science-fiction framework to throw light on ordinary human life, the human soul, human sexuality, love, creativity and childhood innocence. He does so with devastating effect., Independent
A clear frontrunner to be the year's most extraordinary novel., Sunday Times
Brilliant. The most exact and affecting of his novels to date., Observer

Never Let Me Go
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. Never Let Me Go (2005) Kazuo Ishiguro Faber & Faber Paperback Slightly Worn but Still Existentially Devastating At Crappy Old Books , we like our fiction like we like our futures: beautifully written and quietly horrifying. Kazuo Ishiguro?s Never Let Me Go delivers both in spades. Set in an eerily polite dystopia disguised as an English boarding school, this Booker Prize shortlister is a masterclass in emotional restraint, ethical murk, and slow-burning heartbreak. Kathy, Tommy, and Ruth grow up at Hailsham?a place where creativity is encouraged, curiosity is gently discouraged, and the truth about their purpose in life lurks just beneath the surface. Ishiguro?s prose is elegant, precise, and devastating in its simplicity?perfect for readers who like their science fiction served with a heavy dose of human fragility. Our copy has the kind of creased spine and slightly yellowed pages that say: someone else was wrecked by this before you . A haunting, humane story about memory, love, and what it means to be truly free?if you only read one quietly dystopian coming-of-age novel this decade, make it this one.
