Descrizione
This engaging summary presents an analysis of Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, a dystopian novel set in a fictionalised version of England where human clones are used for organ donation. The novel follows three of these clones, Kathy, Ruth and Tommy, as they grow up and come to realise that they have no way of escaping their fate, which will inevitably lead to their early deaths. In this way, the author reflects on mortality, the ethical limits of modern science and what it means to be human. Never Let Me Go is Kazuo Ishiguro’s sixth novel and, along with The Remains of the Day (for which he won the Man Booker Prize in 1989) and The Buried Giant, is one of his most widely read works.
