Never Let Me Go

THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER A gorgeous 20th-anniversary edition of this beloved modern classic, complete with a brand new introduction from the Nobel Prizewinning author. In one of the most acclaimed and strange novels of recent years, Kazuo Ishiguro imagines the lives of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewered version of contemporary England. Narrated by Kathy, now 31, Never Let Me Go hauntingly 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. ''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 ''A page-turner and a heartbreaker, a tour de force of knotted tension and buried anguish.'' TIME
