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.

Review:
" A page turner and a heartbreaker, a tour de force of knotted tension and buried anguish." -- "Time"
" A Gothic tour de force. . . . A tight, deftly controlled story . . . . Just as accomplished [as "The Remains of the Day"] and, in a very different way, just as melancholy and alarming." -- "The New York Times"
" Elegaic, deceptively lovely. . . . As always, Ishiguro pulls you under." -- "Newsweek"
" Superbly unsettling, impeccably controlled . . . . The book' s irresistible power comes from Ishiguro' s matchless ability to expose its dark heart in careful increments." -- "Entertainment Weekly"

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Kathy ist einunddreißig Jahre alt und arbeitet als Betreuerin. Wann immer sie durch England fährt und hinter Pappeln ein halb verborgenes Herrenhaus sieht, muss sie an Hailsham denken, das Internat, in dem sie ihre Kindheit und Jugend verbrachte. Unwillkürlich steigen dann in ihr Erinnerungen an Tommy auf, der sich mit trotzigen Wutanfällen gegen die Ausgrenzung durch die Mitschüler wehrte, denen er nicht kreativ genug war. Seine geheimsten Ängste und Wünsche vertraute Tommy immer ihr, Kathy, an, aber eine Liebesbeziehung ging er zunächst mit ihrer besten Freundin ein, mit Ruth.Sie alle waren damals in Hailsham gut behütet, aber auch vollständig von der Außenwelt abgeschnitten. Die Lehrer erzählten den Kindern, dass sie später 'spenden' oder 'betreuen' würden, aber was sich hinter diesen Begriffen verbarg, verriet ihnen niemand. Im Unterricht fertigten die Schüler Bilder und Gedichte an, und zweimal im Jahr kam eine Respekt erheischende Dame und sammelte die besten davon für eine Galerie ein, die aber keiner der Schüler je zu Gesicht bekam.Tommy hatte den Verdacht, dass die Aufseher anhand dieser Artefakte entscheiden wollten, ob zwei Menschen wirklich zueinander passten. Denn nur wirkliche Liebespaare, so hieß es in Hailsham, konnten noch einen Aufschub erhalten, bevor sie 'Spender' wurden. 282 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9780571272136
