At first glance, the novel appears deceptively simple. We meet Kathy H., a gentle, introspective thirty-one-year-old, as she looks back on her childhood at Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic English boarding school.

In the hands of a lesser writer, Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go would be a dystopian thriller. It would feature chases, explosions, and a heroic rebellion against a corrupt system.

Never Let Me Go is not a book you enjoy . It is a book you survive . It will leave you hollowed out, staring at the wall, thinking about the final shot of the film adaptation (Kathy standing in a field of weeds). It asks the most uncomfortable question of all: What makes a human life worth living? Is it your dreams, your art, or simply your love for another person?
