From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day comes a devastating new novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss. As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.

Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, Never Let Me Go is another classic by the author of The Remains of the Day

I heard a lot about this author, and I was hoping for a great book, so in the end I was a bit dissappointed with the story.

The flow of the text is very good, but throughout the whole story I couldn't shake the feeling that this was somewhat familiar, that I'd seen the story somewhere. And I kept going back to this cheesy sci-fi movie, where the theme is pretty much the same. The only difference was that in the book the kids knew from the start what they were, and what they had been created for.

My favorite part of the book was actually the idea that Norfolk is the land of lost treasures. It's a lovely idea, that there's a place in the world where you'll always be able to find something you've missed.

Was offered on Bookmooch and is now travelling to sophie0 in Germany.
