From the back cover:
"In one of the most acclaimed and original novels of recent years, Kazua Ishiguro imagines the lives of a group of students growing uo in a darkly skewed version of contemporary England. Narrated by Kathy, now thirty-one, 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."

A pretty short book which I read in one day, this is an intense and emotional story which puts its characters into almost unimaginable circumstances. I can't say too much without giving the plot away, but the narrative's calm and accepting tone hides what is at heart a harrowing story which explores our human need for love and friendship.
