Kazuo Ishiguro is a British author who has won the Nobel in 2017. I was attracted to a book cover, the old-fashioned way (most of you are aware of my fashion sense by now). In a book store. I bought, and surprisingly, finished the book in about 3 days.
Never Let Me Go is a moving story, about humans, and clones of humans. I recently saw Robot 2, and artistically, these two are very different, but there were hints of what might happen when Robots turn human in the female character in Robot. Likewise, in all the three main characters- two female, and one a male in the book.
It's an emotional story, full of innocence, fears, and hopes of these clones (euphemistically called Students), raised only to provide organ donations to humans. They have a love triangle, exactly as humans might have, and grow up with just a little hope that they can extend their life just that bit. This hope is kept alive till the surprise ending, but you have to read the book to really savour it. I was impressed!
A link to the trailer of the film made from the book.
